Head Over Heels

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal] 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: Roland Orzabal] 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 Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away [Post-Chorus: Roland Orzabal] Throw it away Throw it away [Verse 2: Roland Orzabal, Curt Smith] I made a fire, I'm watching it burn (Yeah) 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? (Mm, what's the matter with my--) 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 (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 [Chorus: Roland Orzabal] 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 Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away [Bridge: Roland Orzabal] And this is my four-leaf clover I'm on the line, one open mind This is my four-leaf clover [Outro: Roland Orzabal] (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
