Head over Heels lyrics

I wanted to be with you alone

and talk about the weather.

But traditions I can trace

against the child in your face

won't escape my attention.

You keep your distance with a system of touch

and gentle persuasion.

I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much?

Oh, you're wasting my time,

you're just, just, just wasting time.

Something happens and I'm head over heels.

I never find out till I'm head over heels.

Something happens and I'm head over heels.

Ah! Don't take my heart, don't break my heart,

don't, don't, don't throw it away.

Throw it away!

Throw it away!

I made a fire and watching it burn

thought of your future.

With one foot in the past now,

just how long will it last?

No, no, no, have you no ambition?

My mother and my brothers used to

breathing clean air,

(Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age)

and dreaming I'm a doctor.

(Nothing gets done when you feel like a baby)

It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand.

Oh I feel so...

Something happens and I'm head over heels.

I never find out till I'm head over heels.

Something happens and I'm head over heels.

Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart,

don't, don't, don't throw it away.

And this is my four leaf clover.

I'm on the line, one open mind.

This is my four leaf clover.

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

In my mind's eye.

(La, la, la, la, la)

One little boy wandering by.

Funny how .....time flies.
