(Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age)
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
And gentle persuasion
One little boy, one little man
In my mind's eye
I made a fire, I'm watchin' it burn
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
(Nothing gets done when you feel like a baby)
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Something happens and 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
Oh! I feel so
And dreamin' I'm a doctor
Oh! You're wasting my time, you're just, just, just wasting time

Don't, don't, don't throw it away
You keep your distance with a system of touch
And talk about the weather
Something happens and I'm head over heels
This is my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, want an open mind
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much
Funny how time flies
Won't escape my attention
Songwriters: Roland Orzabal, Curt Smith
My mother and my brother's used to breathing clean air
I never find out till I'm head over heels
And this is my four leaf clover
No, no, no, have you no ambitions
With one foot in the past, now just how long will it last
I wanted to be with you alone
Thought of your future
Don't, don't, don't throw it away, throw it away, throw it away
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
