[Verse 1]

[Verse 2]
I always go for danger, like to walk a tightrope

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, I'm over my head
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, I'm over my head
Oh, oh
[Verse 3]

I'll feel my way, I'll take a chance
Risking exposure every time I come to meet you
I'm begging Lady Luck again
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, I'm over my head
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, I'm over my head
Oh, oh
[Bridge]

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, I'm over my head
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, I'm over my head
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, I'm over my head
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, I'm over my head

Oh, oh, I'm over my head
Oh, oh (Over my head)
Oh, oh, I'm over my head
Oh, oh (I'm over my head)
Oh, oh, I'm over my head
Oh, oh (Over my head)
Oh, oh, I'm over my head
Oh, oh (I'm over my head)
Oh, oh, I'm over my head
