Japanese Breakfast - Head Over Heels Lyrics






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
'Cause I need you this much
You're wasting my time
You're 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 throw it away

I made a fire, and watching it burn
I thought of your future
With one foot in the past now,
Just how long can this last?
Have you no ambition?
My mother and my brothers
Used to breathe in clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man
When there's a gun in your hand
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
Don't take my heart, don't break my heart
Don't... don't throw it away

  1. J.... -....

    Lovely tune, the music, the singer and the lyrics are doing an awesome job

  2. N.... x....

    this is for you Omar, somehow I still feel your warmth everytime this plays

  3. J.... W....

    One of my favorite cover songs... a lot to do with the unrequited Love I feel for a dear friend...

  4. b.... ....

    Heard this at my local record store yesterday. Good thing I used my Shazam app! This has a mellow feel along with a dash of creepy and erotic!😍

  5. M.... G....

    I am going to rip into this critically. This belongs in a funeral home,it has no soul. The rhythm has no purpose, or pacing , it lacks a heart beat. The singing is horrendous, with bad phrasing, and no where near expressing a person who is head over heels. It sounds like typical millenial deconstuctive crap, because lazy is what millenials aim for in music, and originality.

    M.... G....

    Mathew Gonzales ok boomer

  6. A.... C....

    this is literally the best thing i've ever heard in my life everyone shut up im going stupid AND crazy aaaaa

  11. I.... ....

    This took so much bravery...but you did it! Beautiful! Subarashi!!! Ootsku she ee dess!!!!

  12. B.... M....

    Love both artists.... but taking an 80s pop song and slowing it down to a ballad is totally played out.

  13. S.... R....

    Not trying to be jerk here, I think I get the vibe she's going for, but this is Nasally and Out of Tune, and not in a potentially good way, just an Amateurish way. I'm not hating, I like the idea of Japanese Breakfast, just a lot of hype here over kinda sub par music.

  14. J.... F....

    what is a japanese breakfast?

  15. C.... ....

    I love yall. Keep making beautiful music.
