Lauryn Hill - Just Like Water lyrics

rate me

<i>[Verse 1]</i>

Moving down the streams of my lifetime

Pulls the fascination in my sleeve

Cooling off the fire of my longing

Boiling off my cold within his heat

Melting down the walls of inhibition

Evaporating all of my fears

Baptizing me into complete submission

Dissolving my condition with his tears

<i>[Chorus]</i>

He's just like the water

I ain't felt this way in years

He's just like the water

I ain't felt this way in years

<i>[Verse 2]</i>

Coursing through my senses, he's prevailing

Floating through the space of my design

Drowning me to find my inside sailing

Drinking in the mainstream of his mind

Filling up the cup of my emotions

Spilling over into all I do

If I only I could get lost in his ocean

Surviving on the thought of loving you

<i>[Chorus]</i>

He's just like the water

I ain't felt this way in years

He's just like the water, the water

I ain't felt this way in years

<i>[Verse 3]</i>

Bathing in the fountain of his essence

He causes my expression to remain

Humbled on a mountain by his presence

Washing my intentions with his name

Sealing off the floodgates of his passions

Saving all his liquid for his own

Moisturizing me to satisfaction

In my imagination? No no!

He's pouring out his soul to me for hours and hours

Drawing out my nature with his hands

Yearning I'm so thirsty for his power

Burning to be worthy of his land

<i>[Chorus]</i>

He's just like the water

I ain't felt this way in years

He's just like the water

I ain't felt this way in years

<i>[Ad Libs Remainder]</i>

Cleaning me

He's purging me

And moving me around

He's bathing me

And he's claiming me

And moving me around

Around and around and around

And around

Watching me, claiming me

Moving me around

He's purging me

He's been cleaning me

And moving me around

And around
