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 Listen to me
Chorus: 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 3 letters took him to his final resting place Y'all don't hear me
Chorus
I seen a rainbow yesterday But too many storms have come and gone Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray Is it because my life is ten shades of grey I pray all ten fade away Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
And like His promise is true Only my faith can undo The many chances I blew To bring my life to anew Clear blue and unconditional skies Have dried the tears from my eyes No more lonely cries My only bleedin' hope Is for the folk who can't cope Wit such an endurin' pain That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain Who's to blame For tootin' caine in your own vein What a shame You shoot and aim for someone else's brain You claim the insane And name this day and time For fallin' prey to crime I say the system 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
Chorus
Chorus: Let's take our time baby Love lasts forever Over and over We'll love together
Come here next to me And let me make you high No mistakes we will make A long time we will love
Chorus
Kiss me hold me tight And let's get wet tonight Happiness is pleasing you So let me make you cry
Chorus
Slowly deep inside me Hold me and kiss my body Only you can make me Oh so easy
Chorus
Shoo doop doo
If I was your girlfriend Would you remember to tell me All the things you forgot If I was your man, if I was you man If I was your best friend Would you let me take care of you And do all the things only your best friend can Only your best friends can
Chorus: If I was your girlfriend
If I was your girlfriend Would you let me dress you I mean help you pick out your clothes Before we go out Not that you're helpless but sometimes, Sometimes those are the things That being in love's about If I was you one and only friend Would you run to me if somebody hurt you Even if that somebody was me Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be Please
Chorus
If I was your girlfriend I know I could treat you right I could see what you see And hear what you hear And most of all I'd feel what you feel
Oh make me wanna say Shoo doop doo If I was your girlfriend
