Head Over Heels
Paul Overstreet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We broke each other's heart last night
We both were losers in a fight
Did we finally cross that borderline
And go a little bit too far this time

I know I said some things that really hurt
But you made me feel like I was dirt
I can't hardly make things any worse
And I'm already late for work
So I'll leave you with my final words

[CHORUS:]
I'm still head over heals in love with you
Just like the first time that we met
I know I never will forget
I knew right then that it was real
I still get a thrill when I think about you
Don't ever doubt the way I feel
I love you now and always will
I'm still head over heals

Maybe I should just stay home all day
And take time to let love have its way
My job won't need me while I'm gone
Not the way I'm needed here at home

I take back all the things I said
Sometimes I talk out of my head
You're the best friend I have ever had
I love you even when we're mad
When times are good or they're bad

(REPEAT CHORUS)




I'm stil head over heals
I'm stil head over heals
