Tears For Fears - 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
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
'Til 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, and watching it burn
Yeah, thought of your future
With one foot in the past
Now, just how long will it last?
Now, now, now, have you no ambitions?

(Mm, what's the matter with my...)
My mother and my brothers used to breathe 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
'Til 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 is my four-leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four-leaf clover

La, la, la...
In my mind's eye
La, la, la...
One little boy, one little man
La, la, la...
Funny how time flies

    This song reminds me of the times I would sneak my Walkman into the library to listen to cassettes instead of studying. Probably the reason I got a D in biology.

  5. S.... A....

    I was watching their show in Liverpool last year and I didn’t recognize Roland “funny how time flies”.

  6. t.... ....

    (1:33) The chimp’s reaction to the keyboard player’s unorthodox playing technique.

  13. N.... ....

    this is the last cd i chose to buy from that columbia house scam (something like 50K CDs for $0.01). The only reason why I bought the greatest hits was for everyone wants to rule the world. I think I played sowing the seeds of love and heads over heels straight for like 3 days!

    N.... ....

    Just Youtube this stuff or spotify..this stuff was free 20+ yrs ago.

  14. E.... ....

    1:37 mark -- that rapey look (O_o)

  15. D.... M....

    Ouvindo em Janeiro de 2020?

  16. T.... ....

    Needless to say, I'm still enjoying listening music from the 80's, but I often get this nervous feeling in my gut and I'm basicly sad...

  17. E.... L....

    Best part is when the key board player says “Yeah!” Whole song is a masterpiece.

    E.... L....

    he cracks me up

  18. S.... L....

    Amooooo!

  30. N.... G....

    1:31 PLEASE WHAT INSTRUMENTS DO I NEED TO MAKE SOUNDS LIKE THAT?

    N.... G....

    synth keyboard?

    N.... G....

    @KainMcnab oh but where can I get the keyboard. And most importantly do portable synth keyboards exist...that I can carry everywhere?

    N.... G....

    Sorry I dont know, not really a music person, was just an guess on my part because it sounds like other synth songs. Does sound awesome.

  31. C.... C....

    Garibalda oi Kelly você e linda

  32. M.... M....

    M.... M....

    La la la la la🎶 la la la la la🎵

  33. J.... W....

    Manny Elias drum licks still send a chill up my spine. As a drummer, I look for licks out of the ordinary and Manny delivered in this song. That's why I love the song today as much as I did when it first came out and why I'll still be listening to it for many years to come.

  34. n.... b....

    Sou de 1999 mais toda vez que vou dormir coloco o fone de ouvido e escuto essa música imaginando está nessa época em uma lanchonete paquerando uma linda mulher do outro lado da mesa 😂😂😂

    A técnica vocal do Roland Orzabal: <3

  40. T.... ....

    The keyboard which appears at 1:30 looks to be a Roland Jupiter 8. A legendary keyboard!

  41. C.... Q....

    hola vine porque mi papa me enseño a escuchar a Tears for fears y por el anime Carole and Tuesday

  42. S.... S....

    Tears for fears still kicking ass in 2020 gotta love it

  43. j.... m....

    He looks exactly like Ducky from Pretty in Pink - uncanny.

    j.... m....

    Right I have been thinking the same thing...."Like damn is that ducky from pretty in pink"

  44. G.... 6....

    If only I could go back to the 1980s. Everything seemed so simple back then. Music like this was on the radio all the time. The 80s was the last decade when music was absolutely sublime. I am glad I lived through those years and can remember such happy times and music.

  45. F.... R....

    New Year's Eve 2019 - *2020* brought me here. _Funny how time flies..._ D'oh!! 🍾💫

  51. J.... F....

    E eu aqui no início de 2020 escutando música de verdade! Essa música é demais!!!!

  52. T.... S....

    This is one of my best 80’s songs ❤️

  53. V.... M....

    AMO esta canción, con toda mi alma 💞

  54. E.... B....

    ESSA MÚSICA É SIMPLESMENTE SENSACIONAL. TEARS: THE BEST

  55. R.... R....

  56. d.... c....

    they are really good

  57. s.... ....

    Amazing that they could accurately predict what Red Sox fans would turn into in the 21st century.

  58. c.... i....

    they have the best voices

  59. D.... F....

    this song is so original and inventive it is jaw-dropping. they have like an Iron Maiden guitar bit, 80s synth, and gothy plucking things and the beat is this weird plodding plus a simple minds style chant a long...wow

  60. F.... D....

    Esse som é foda pra caralho, e vocês biscoiteiros parem de pedir like e ouçam essa musica perfeita, seus merdas!!!

  61. B.... ....

    The ending to this song is purely angelic. As if it were pulled from the highest reaches of heaven.

    B.... ....

    Lydian mode has that heavenly effect on people 😉

  62. L.... K....

    An audible english. Comprehensive one.

  63. A.... P....

    Best love song.

  64. C.... S....

    Many people have commented that this is masterpiece... Of course they are correct. A perfect 80s pop song, perfect production and a clever film clip to match. Win, Win, Win. And the keyboard player totally owns that scene at 1:30.

  65. K.... M....

    Quem descobriu pelo todo mundo odeia o Chris?

  66. d.... ....

    Great! come to Chicago!

  67. L.... E....

  74. R.... B....

    Damn they looked so young compared to 40 years later

  75. J.... G....

    Back in high school I had a MAJOR crush on Roland Orzabal. The singer of this song. The whole CD"songs from the big chair" is very good.

  76. C.... K....

    How did they get a cherry picker into a library? Great song! Great album! Great band! Thanks for uploading.

  87. N.... ....

    The significance of the black guy and the Orthodox Jew smiling together is around the time this song came out there was serious racial tensions between the two communities in New York. 1:47

    N.... ....

    still are

    N.... ....

    @Dalian Moya Now it is also Muslims. There was just an incident in Brooklyn this week, reminiscent of the Crown Heights problems, where a "Muslim Patrol" slapped around a black kid and the community showed up and threatened to bust caps. The police had to come.

    N.... ....

    Yes I remember however I'm a little bit younger but yes times have changed now adays for sure!
