Head Over Heels

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

I made a fire and watching it burn

I 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 brother’s used to breathing clean air

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

And dreaming I’m a doctor

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

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

Oh, I feel so

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

And this is my four-leaf clover

I’m on the line, one open mind

This is my four-leaf clover

[Outro]

La la-la la la, la la-la la la

La la la-la la-la

La la-la la la, la la-la la la

La la la-la la-la

La la-la la la, la la-la la la

La la la-la la-la (in my mind's eye)

La la-la la la, la la-la la la (one little boy, one little man)

Funny how time flies
