Head Over Heels Lyrics
I have a very good friend
The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend
She has a personal style
Some people love it others tend to go wild
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
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
Her man is one I admire
He's so courageous but he's constantly tired
Each time that he speaks his mind
She pats his head and says that's all very fine
Exert that will of your own
When you're alone
Now we better hurry
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
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
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
(She's just one of those who always has to do whatever she please)
And she goes
Head over heels
The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend
She has a personal style
Some people love it others tend to go wild
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
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
He's so courageous but he's constantly tired
Each time that he speaks his mind
She pats his head and says that's all very fine
Exert that will of your own
When you're alone
Now we better hurry
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
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
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
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
(She's just one of those who always has to do whatever she please)
And she goes
Head over heels

I think this song is about Frida and how she is more outgoing and braver than Agnetha. The video suggests it.
The video is fun! I love Bjorn as tired hubby :)
i like the part when they go "..and with no trace of hesitation she keeps going head over heels..." it's really cool...
i felt sorry for bjorn in the mv xD
Personally, i think its about a girl who is literally a leading lady in her own life, she is very out-going, does what she wants to do and lives her life to the full (without any regard for the consequences) This girl is very full on, very in your face and obviously likes to be centre of attention.
My favourite line is definitely ... She's extreme if you know what i mean...
You always meet that type of girl at least once... the girl always has the attention of the whole room because she claims it straight away
Personally, I think the second verse reveals what the song is really about, but we need to fix the lyrics which are wrong above:
"Her man is one I admire He's so courageous but he's constantly tired Each time that he speaks his mind She pats his head and says that's all very fine Exert that will of your own When [you're] alone Now we better hurry"
She clearly said "when YOU'RE alone" and not "when we're alone" which changes the whole meaning (watch Agnetha's lips in the video). This shows that the woman is so overbearing that she doesn't even want to hear what her "courageous" husband has to say if it pertains to anything challenging her authority. In other words, she's a bitch ("she's extreme if you know what I mean" is just a nice way of putting it).
Whether it's about Frida or Agnetha I don't know. Which girl dominated her "courageous" husband (if either)?
Song was written by Benny and Bjorn. So it wouldn't make sense that it's about anybody in the group. Maybe it's about a couple of people they knew, though. Or maybe it's not about anybody specific.
If this song is gonna be about anyone, the closest it would be is Lillebil Ankarcron. And most of the clothes Frida was wearing were hers
