Head Over Heels

Jon Bon Jovi · John Bongiovi: The Powerstation Years (1980-1983)

I've been hell raised on leather
High heel, studded, black, cool boots
Had anything any man could have wanted
All I ever wanted was you

And baby I've done whatever I wanted
I stole the lights and I've had command
Of the world, a wrath of angels
They're bought and sold on a shake of a hand

And I, I'm head over heels for you
And I'm here to say that it's true
I'm head over heels for you

I know you've seen all those romantic movies
How the hero comes to take you away
But then you wake up and you're all alone now
But that's all gonna change today

Remember being all alone
Remember crying on a rainy day
It don't have to be that bad now
It don't have to be that way

And I know what it's like baby to fall in love
Because I've fallen in love with you
It's true, yeah it's true

And I'm head over heels for you
And I'm here to say that it's true
I'm head over heels for you, yeah

And I know what it's like baby to fall in love
Because I've fallen in love with you
It's true, yeah it's true

And I'm head over heels for you
And I'm here to say that it's true
I'm head over heels for you

And I'm head over heels for you
And I'm here to say that it's true
I'm head over heels
I'm head over heels
I'm head over heels for you
