Waterfall Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I only see you and I
In a crowded room, you're my decision
Oh, we been blurrin' the lines
In a crowded room, I guess I kissed him, kissed him

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, now, baby, hold on, hold on
Pushed you back for so long, oh
And I'm all out of good excuses now, baby
Alright, alright
I can't wait one more night, oh
I give up, I give in, I can’t take it

[Chorus]
Won't you please
Pour your loving over me
All your loving over me
Like a waterfall baby
Won't you please
Pour your loving over me
All your loving over me
I need you to
Let your water fall
Oh, baby, let me feel it all
[Verse 2]
This may be a mistake
But I want your tattoos on my shoulders
If you was bourbon and pain, mhm
I'd raise you to the sky and toast this, hopeless

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, now, baby hold on, hold on
Pushed you back for so long, oh
And I'm all out of good excuses now, baby
Alright, alright
I can't wait one more night, oh
I give up, I give in, I can't take it

[Chorus]
Won't you please
Pour your loving over me
All your loving over me
Like a waterfall baby
Won't you please
Pour your loving over me
All your loving over me
I need you to
Let your water fall
Oh, baby, let me feel it all (Yeah)
[Bridge]
Give me something to live for
Give me something to love
Give me someone to hold on to
I'll put nothing above
Give me something to live for
Give me something to feel
Give me something to hold on to
Give me something that’s real

[Verse 3]
Never had a lover like you, no
It's the kind of lovin' I do want
Settled so I'm settling
Love him and I'm tellin' him
Got a good girl in her element, yeah
Never had a lover like you, no
It's the kind of lovin' I do want
Settled so I'm settling

Love him and I’m tellin' him
Got a good girl in her element

[Chorus]
Won't you please
Pour your loving over me
All your loving over me
Like a waterfall baby
Won't you please
Pour your loving over me
All your loving over me
I need you to
Let your water fall
Oh, baby, let me feel it all (Yeah)
[Outro]
Won't you let your
Won't you let your
Won't you let your
Waterfall
Won't you let your
Won't you let your
Won't you let your

What did Disclosure & RAYE say about "Waterfall"?
Genius Answer

Disclosure:

RAYE is such a dream to work with in the studio. Best way to describe her is as a hook machine! You get the beat rolling and vibes going and she gives you like five chorus melody options straight away… she makes writing the way we do so easy & enjoyable.

We all knew within five minutes we were gonna make a UKG summer sunshine banger and that’s exactly what we ended up with. We all had London and it’s beautiful musical history in our hearts that day and we hope that comes across to the listener.

RAYE:

This was really the first song Disclosure and I had created together, and everyone loved it, it came together really quickly and organically. The boys led with a garage vibe and I think it’s summertime warm energy! I hope people love it as much as we enjoyed making it.
