Tears For Fears - 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
(yeah) Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No, no, no, have you no ambitions, oh
My mother and my brothers used to breathe in 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 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 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, 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.
