Head Over Feet Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case, time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

[Chorus]
You've already won me over
In spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

[Verse 2]
Your love is thick
And it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver
Than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service


[Chorus]
You've already won me over
In spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
[Verse 3]
You are the bearer
Of unconditional things
You held your breath
And the door for me

Thanks for your patience

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 4]
You're the best listener
That I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits

What took me so long?
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now, oh
I am aware now

[Chorus]
You've already won me over
In spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
[Chorus]
You've already won me over
In spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

[Outro]
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

What did Alanis Morissette say about "Head Over Feet"?
Genius Answer

When relationships get healthier and healthier we somehow equate that with not being as passionate or as sexy. I’ve kind of realized that it’s actually sexier when there’s less drama. It’s been better, and I never thought that that would be the case because of the whole clingy, overly dependent roller coaster that often times seemed very passionate and very sexy. And when I wrote ‘Head Over Feet’ about this particular person it was the first time that I actually had a glimpse of what it would be like to be in love and have it be something that was inducing of the heart palpitations, yet at the same time I could spend a couple minutes and actually not think about that person. It was very new to me."
