"Waterfall" lyrics

Bill Withers. He was singing this song
It was on the radio. I had to sing along
The fellas in the background
Doing their thing going (Mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)

Martha Reeves. She was dancing in the street
Everybody's dancing shuffling their feet
And the Vandellas sang in the background
They were going (Everybody's dancin', ooh)

But no. We're never going back
No. We're never going back
Never going back. No, no

'Cause under the waterfall I know just how you're feeling
Under the waterfall I feel your heart a beating
And under the waterfall of life
We all need a little healing
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall

Oh, life is a wonderful thing
And I'm so grateful for everything it brings
But it can get you down sometimes
It can turn you inside out
Now I've had the money and the fame
Thought that it would save me
But somehow I'm the same
I'm still the boy I used to be
I replay the memories

No. We're never going back
No. We're never going back
Never going back. No, no

'Cause under the waterfall I know just how you're feeling
Under the waterfall I feel your heart a beating
And under the waterfall of life
We all need a little healing
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall

If only my father had recognised
I was standing on my own two feet
And letting go is bitter-sweet
Yeah
If only my mother had realised
That life it goes oh so fast
Can't stay forever living in the past

'Cause under the waterfall I know just how you're feeling
Under the waterfall I feel your heart a beating
And under the waterfall of life
We all need a little healing
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
