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 have 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, just wasting time
Something happens and I’m head over heels
I never find out, until I’m head over heels
Something happens and I’m head over heels
Oh, don’t take my heart, don’t break my heart
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 will it last
(no no no no no) no you have no ambition
My mother and my brothers need to breath in clean air
(nothing ever changes when you’re acting your age)
And dreaming I’m a doctor (call me doctor)
It’s hard to be a man when there’s a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so
This is my four-leaf clover, I’m on the line one open mind
This is my four-leaf clover
One little boy wandering by, funny how time flies

Behind the Song:
"We're all 80's fans, we all grew up in the 80's and we were all young in the 80's. We just love 80's music and Tears For Fears are brilliant songwriters. I mean every one of their songs was a hit. It was hard to pick which song. We knew we wanted to do a Tears For Fears song and it was hard to choose. We all have an attachment to 'Head Over Heels.' It's just a great song. It's got great lyrics and a great melody and it's just a fun song. So we just decided to go for 'Head Over Heels.'" - Dave Pelsue (Kids In The Way) - from the Jesusfreakhideout.com Interview
