[Intro: Halle, Chloe]
(Ah)
Don't go chasin'
Don't go chasin'
Don't go chasin'

[Verse 1: Chloe]
A lonely mother gazin' out of the window
Starin' at a son that she just can't touch
If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
But he don't realize he hurts her so much

[Pre-Chorus: Chloe]
Oh, but all the praying just ain't helpin' at all
'Cause he can't seem to keep hisself out of trouble
So he goes out, he makes his money the best way he knows how
Another body layin' cold in the gutter, listen to me

[Chorus: Chloe & Halle, Halle]
Don't go chasin' waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you'rе gonna have it your way or nothin' at all
But I think you're movin' too fast
(Yeah)

[Verse 2: Halle]
Littlе precious has a natural obsession for temptation
But he just can't see (Oh)
She givin' him lovin' that his body can't handle
But all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me"
[Pre-Chorus: Halle]
One day, he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face (Oh)
His health is fadin', and he doesn't know why (Why)
Three letters took him to his final resting place (Place)

[Chorus: Chloe & Halle, Halle, Chloe]
Don't go chasin' waterfalls (Oh)
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to (You're used to, you, you, you)
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothin' at all (Oh)
But I think you're movin' too fast (I think you're movin' too fast, baby, movin' too fast, I think you're movin' too fast)

[Verse 3: Chloe, Halle]
Come on
I seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms
Have come and gone, leaving a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
I pray all ten fade away, seldom praise Him for the sunny days
And like His promise is true, only my faith can undo (Oh)
The many chances I blew to bring my life to anew (Ooh)
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes, no more lonely cries
My only bleeding hope is for the folk who can't cope (Oh)
With such an endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain (Oh)
Who's to blame for tooting 'caine into your own vein?
What a shame, you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane and name this day in time for falling prey to crime
I say the system's got you victim to your own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of comin' true
Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you (Don't go)
[Chorus: Chloe & Halle, Halle, Chloe]
Don't go chasin' waterfalls (Ooh)
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothin' at all (Waterfall, the waterfalls)
But I think you're movin' too fast (I think you're movin' too fast)

[Outro: Halle, Chloe]
(Ah)
Don't go chasin' (Oh)
Don't go chasin' (Oh)
Don't go chasin' (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Don't go chasin' waterfalls
Don't go chasin' (Ah)
Don't go chasin' waterfalls
(Ah, ah)
