[Verse 1]
A lonely mother gazing out a window
Staring  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 doesn't realize he hurts her so much
And all the praying just ain't helping at all
'Cause  he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
Goes  out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
Another body laying cold in the gutter

[Chorus]
Don't  go chasing waterfalls
Just stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast

[Verse 2]
Little  precious has a natural obsession for temptation
But he just can't see
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
And all he can say is, "Baby, it's good to me"
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
And he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
Three letters brought him to his final resting place
[Chorus]
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Just stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast

[Chorus]
So don't go chasing waterfalls
Just stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Just stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast

[Outro]
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Just stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
