"Head Over Heels" lyrics

"Head Over Heels"

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 'til I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Oh, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
No, no, don't throw it away

Throw it away
Throw it away

I made a fire, watching it burn
I thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last?
Now, now, now, have you no ambition?
My mother and my brother's used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
Now, I feel so

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out 'til I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Oh, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
No, no, don't throw it away

And this is my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
And 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
La la-la la la, la la-la la la
In my mind's eye
La la la-la la-la
One little boy, one little man
La la-la la la, la la-la la la
Funny how time flies
