[Verse 1: Roland Orzabal]
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
[Chorus: Roland Orzabal]
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
[Post-Chorus: Roland Orzabal]
Throw it away
Throw it away
[Verse 2: Roland Orzabal, Curt Smith]
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 ambition?
(Mm, what's the matter with my...)
My mother and my brother's used to breathing 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
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
[Chorus: Roland Orzabal]
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
[Post-Chorus: Roland Orzabal]
Throw it away
Throw it away
