Won't escape my attention
Don't, don't, don't throw it away
Something happens and I'm head over heels
(Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age)
And gentle persuasion
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
(Throw it away, throw it away)
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
And dreaming I'm a doctor
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Oh, you're wasting my time, you're just, just, just wasting time
You keep your distance with a system of touch
I never find out till I'm head over heels
I'm on the line, one open mind, this is my four leaf clover
Something happens and I'm head over heels
(Nothing gets done when you feel like a baby)
Oh, I feel so
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
Don't, don't, don't throw it away
And this is my four leaf clover
I made a fire and watching it burn
No, no, no, have you no ambitions?
In my mind's eye, one little boy, one little man
I never find out till I'm head over heels
(Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age)
It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand
My mother and my brothers used to breath in clean air
Something happens and I'm head over heels
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much?
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Thought of your future
