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

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

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

Throw it away
Throw it away

I made a fire, I'm watching it burn (yeah)
I thought of your future
With one foot in the past
Now, just how long will it last?
No, no, no, have you no ambitions?
(What's the matter with it?)

My mother and my brothers
Used to breath in 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

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

And this my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover

(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
One little boy, one little man
Funny how
Time flies
