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
