Waterfalls Lyrics
Paul McCartney
Don't go jumping waterfalls
Please keep to the lake.
People who jump to the waterfalls
Sometimes can make mistakes.
And I need love
Yeah
I need love
Like a second needs an hour
Like a raindrop needs a shower.
Yeah
I need love
Ev'ry minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away.
And I need love
Yeah
I need love
Like a castle needs a tower
Like a garden needs a flower.
Yeah
I need love
...
Don't go chasing polar bears
In the great unknown.
Some big friendly polar bear
Might want to take you home.
And I need love
Yeah
I need love
Like a second needs an hour
...
Yeah
I need love
...
Don't run after motor cars
Please stay on the side
Someone's glossy motor car
Might take you for a ride.
And I need love
Yeah
I need love
Like a castle needs a tower
...
Yeah
I need love
Said I need love
Like a raindrop needs a shower
Like a second needs an hour
Ev'ry minute of the day
...
Don't go jumping waterfalls
Please keep to the lake.
Please keep to the lake.
People who jump to the waterfalls
Sometimes can make mistakes.
And I need love
Yeah
I need love
Like a second needs an hour
Like a raindrop needs a shower.
Yeah
I need love
Ev'ry minute of the day
And it wouldn't be the same
If you ever should decide to go away.
And I need love
Yeah
I need love
Like a castle needs a tower
Like a garden needs a flower.
Yeah
I need love
...
Don't go chasing polar bears
In the great unknown.
Some big friendly polar bear
Might want to take you home.
And I need love
Yeah
I need love
Like a second needs an hour
...
Yeah
I need love
...
Don't run after motor cars
Please stay on the side
Someone's glossy motor car
Might take you for a ride.
And I need love
Yeah
I need love
Like a castle needs a tower
...
Yeah
I need love
Said I need love
Like a raindrop needs a shower
Like a second needs an hour
Ev'ry minute of the day
...
Don't go jumping waterfalls
Please keep to the lake.
