Head Over Heels
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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?
(What's the matter with)
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
(Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age)
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 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)
(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)
(La la la-la la-la)
In my mind's eye
One little boy, one little man
Funny how time flies
