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, I'm watching it burn
Yeah, I thought of your future
With one foot in the past, now
Just how long will it last?
Now, now, now, have you no ambitions?
My mothers and my brothers used to
Breathe in clean in air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when
There's a gun in your hand 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
(Throw it away, 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)

In my mind's eye
One little boy, one little man
Funny how time flies
