Waterfalls Lyrics - It's The Girls! - Bette Midler

A lonely mother gazing out of the window 

Staring at her 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 himself 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 is 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, 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 (moving too fast) 

Moving too fast (moving too fast) 

Don't go (don't go) chasing waterfalls (waterfalls), please stick to the rivers 

(Oh my darling) And the lakes that you're used to (stick to what 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
