Something in the way you love me won't let me be I don't want to be your prisoner so baby won't you set me free Stop playing with my heart Finish what you start When you make my love come down If you want me let me know Baby let it show Honey don't you fool around
Just try to understand, I've given all I can, 'Cause you got the best of me
Chorus:
Borderline feels like I'm going to lose my mind You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline
(repeat chorus again)
Keep on pushing me baby Don't you know you drive me crazy You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline
Something in your eyes is makin' such a fool of me When you hold me in your arms you love me till I just can't see But then you let me down, when I look around, baby you just can't be found Stop driving me away, I just wanna stay, There's something I just got to say
Just try to understand, I've given all I can, 'Cause you got the best of me
(chorus)
Keep on pushing me baby Don't you know you drive me crazy You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline
Look what your love has done to me Come on baby set me free You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline You cause me so much pain, I think I'm going insane What does it take to make you see? You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline
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 hisself 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 Don't go chasin' 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 Ya'll don't hear me Don't go chasin' 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 Don't go chasin' 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 Come On 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 gray 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 into 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 Don't go chasin' 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 Don't go chasin' waterfalls Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that You're used to I know that you're gonna have it your way
Oh life is bigger It's bigger than you And you are not me The lengths that I will go to The distance in your eyes Oh no, I've said too much I said it all
** That's me in the corner That's me in the spotlight Losing my religion Tryin' to keep a view And I don't know if I can do it Oh no, I've said too much I haven't said enough
* I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper Of every waking hour I'm choosing my confessions Tryin' to keep an eye on you Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool Oh no, I've said too much I said it all
Consider this The hint of the century Consider this The slip that brought me to my knees failed What if all these fantasies Come flailing around Now I've said too much
(* Repeat)
But that was just a dream That was just a dream
(**Repeat) (* Repeat)
But that was just a dream Try, cry, why, try That was just a dream Just a dream, just a dream, dream
People Keep on learnin' Soldiers Keep on warrin' World, Keep on turnin' Cause it won't be too long. Powers Keep on lyin', While your people Keep on dyin' World, Keep on turnin', Cause it won't be too long.
Chorus:
I'm so darn glad He let me try it again, 'Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin. I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then. Gonna keep on tryin' till I reach the highest ground.
Teachers, Keep on teachin' Preachers, Keep on preachin', World, keep on turnin', 'Cause it won't be too long. Oh, no Lovers, Keep on lovin' While believers Keep on believin'. Sleepers, Just stop sleepin' 'Cause it won't be too long. Oh, no!
Chorus

I wear tight clothing and high heel shoes That doesn't make me a prostitute I like rap music, wear hip hop clothes That doesn't mean that I'm sellin' dope

So why dispute me and waste my time Because you think that the price is too high for me I can't look without being watched You rang my buy before I made up my mind
Oh now attitude why even bother I can't change your mind, you can't change my color
Free your mind and the rest will follow (Why oh why must it be this way) Be color blind, don't be so shallow (Before you can read me, you gotta learn to see me

Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me And I'm not gonna fade As soon as you close your eyes and you know it And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it well can you feel it Well I'm here to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You you you oughta know Well I'm here to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You you you oughta know
