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 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 [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) Thought of your future With one foot in the past, now just how long will it last? No, no, no, have you no ambition? My mother and my brothers 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 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 [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
