Head Over Heels
The Go-Go's (1984)
The third studio album from The Go-Go's, Talk Show, was released forty years ago today. I'm not especially familiar with the record, but it included one of my favorite pop songs from the decade. Head Over Heels hit #11 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was described by Jane Wiedlin as being "like a little pop truffle of chocolate that's just completely delicious".
Been running so longI've nearly lost all track of timeIn every directionI couldn't see the warning signsI must be losin' itCause my mind plays tricks on meIt looked so easyBut you know looks sometimes deceiveBeen running so fastRight from the starting lineNo more connectionsI don't need any more adviceOne hand's just reaching outAnd one's just hangin' onIt seems my weaknessesJust keep going strongHead over heelsWhere should I goCan't stop myselfOutta controlHead over heelsNo time to thinkLooks like the whole world's out of syncBeen running so hardWhen what I need is to unwindThe voice of reasonIs one I left so far behindI've waited so longSo long to play this partAnd just rememberedThat I'd forgotten about my heartHead over heelsWhere should I goCan't stop myselfOutta controlHead over heelsNo time to thinkLooks like the whole world's out of sync
