One little boy, one little man
You keep your distance with a system of touch
And this is my four leaf clover
(Nothing gets done when you feel like a baby)
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't, don't, don't throw it away
Funny how time flies
In my mind's eye
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
And gentle persuasion
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Oh! I feel so
This is my four leaf clover

Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart
I wanted to be with you alone
It's hard to be man when there's a gun in your hand
I'm on the line, want an open mind
My mother and my brother's used to breathing clean air
I never find out till I'm head over heels
And talk about the weather
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Oh! You're wasting my time, you're just, just, just wasting time
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much
Don't, don't, don't throw it away, throw it away, throw it away
(Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age)
(Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age)
No, no, no, have you no ambitions
I made a fire, I'm watchin' it burn
Won't escape my attention
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
And dreamin' I'm a doctor
Thought of your future
