[00:00.000]A lonely mother gazing out of her window
[00:38.647]Staring at a son that she just can't touch
[00:43.397]If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
[00:48.648]But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
[00:53.896]But all the praying just ain't working at all
[00:59.648]'Cause he can't seem to keep
[01:02.647]His self out of trouble
[01:05.657]So he goes out and he makes his money
[01:08.897]The best way he knows how
[01:11.896]Another body laying cold in the gutter, listen to me
[01:17.896]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[01:22.147]Please stick to the rivers
[01:24.397]And the lakes that you're used to
[01:27.648]I know that you're gonna have it your way
[01:31.395]Or nothing at all
[01:33.397]But I think you're moving too fast
[01:39.166]Little precious has a natural obsession
[01:45.666]For temptation but he just can't see
[01:49.916]She gives him loving that his body can't handle
[01:56.666]But all he can say is baby it's good to me
[02:01.417]One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
[02:07.666]But he doesn't recognize his own face
[02:12.667]His health is fading and he doesn't know why
[02:18.417]3 letters took him to his final resting place
[02:23.417]Y'all don't hear me?
[02:25.317]Don't go chasing waterfalls
[02:28.917]Please stick to the rivers
[02:31.417]And the lakes that you're used to
[02:34.666]I know that you're gonna have it your way
[02:38.667]Or nothing at all
