Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I made a fire and watching it burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past
Now, just how long will it last?
No, no, no, have you no ambition?
[Verse 5]
My mother and my brothers
Used to breathe in clean air
(Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age)
And dreaming I'm adopted
(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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
This is my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
One little boy, one little man
La, la, la, la, la
Funny how time flies
