Lyrics for Waterfalls

Don't go jumping waterfalls Please, keep to the lake People who jump 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 Every 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 Every minute of the day And it wouldn't be the same If you ever should decide to go away 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 Like a raindrop needs a shower Yeah, I need love Every minute of the day And it wouldn't be the same If you ever should decide to go away 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 Like a garden needs a flower Yeah, I need love Said I need love Every minute of the day And it wouldn't be the same If you ever should decide to go away Don't go jumping waterfalls Please, keep to the lake
