C#m       G#7
I have a very good friend
                              C#m
The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend
          G#7
She has a personal style
                            C#m
Some people like it, others tend to go wild
              B
You hear her voice everywhere
G#7
Taking the chair
C#m      E/B     A  G#
She's a leading lady
    C#m                   C#7     F#m
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going

Chorus:
F#m7       B7
Head over heels
             B6
Breaking her way
B                               G#     C#m
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
         B    A      G#sus4        C#m
She's a girl with a taste for the world
     C#m                      C#7
(The world is like a playing-ground
        F#m
where she goes rushing)
F#m7       B7
Head over heels
            B6
Setting the pace
B                          G#       C#m
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
          B   A        G#          C#m
She's extreme, if you know what I mean

Her man is one I admire
He's so courageous but he's constantly tired
Each time when he speaks his mind
She pats his head and says,
"Oh, that's all very fine
Exert that will of your own
When you're alone
Now we'd better hurry"
And with no trace of hesitation,
she keeps going

Chorus:
Head over heels, breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
(The world is like a playing-ground
where she goes rushing)
Head over heels, setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what I mean

You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation,
she keeps going

Chorus:
Head over heels, breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
(The world is like a playing-ground
where she goes rushing)
Head over heels, setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what I mean

(Think she's one of those who
always has to do whatever she please)
And she goes head over heels
