Waterfalls-Bette Midler
A lonely mother gazing
out of her 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
But all the praying
just ain't helping at all
'Cause he can't seem
to keep his self out of trouble
So he goes out
and he makes his money
the best way he knows how
Another body laying cold in the gutter
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please 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
Little precious has a natural obsession
For temptation but he just can't see
She gives him loving
that his body can't handle
But all he can say is
"Baby, it's good to me."
One day he goes
and takes a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading
and he doesn't know why
Three letters took him
to his final resting place
I told him
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
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
moving too fast
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
moving too fast
