Over My Head Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can take me to the paradise
And then again you can be cold as ice
I'm over my head (Over my head)
Oh, but it sure feels nice
[Verse 2]
You can take me anytime you like
I'll be around if you think you might
Love me, baby (Over my head)
And hold me tight
[Bridge]
Your mood is like a circus wheel
You're changing all the time
Sometimes I can't help but feel
That I'm wasting all of my time
{Instrumental Break}
[Bridge]
Your mood is like a circus wheel
You're changing all the time
Sometimes I can't help but feel
That I'm wasting all of my time
I think I'm looking on the dark side
But every day you hurt my pride
I'm over my head (Over my head)
Oh, but it sure feels nice
I'm over my head (Over my head)
But it sure feels nice
I'm over my head (Over my head)
But it sure feels nice
{Outro}

Rolling Stone named it the #23 greatest Fleetwood Mac song, saying:
After Fleetwood Mac finished work on their self-titled 1975 LP, they found themselves at a loss as to which song to release as a first single. Eventually, they landed on one of the album’s more subtle moments, ‘Over My Head,’ Christine McVie’s soft ode to a rocky relationship. According to Christine, ‘It was the last track we ever thought would be a single.’ The single itself was substantially edited; the fade-in intro that appeared on the album version was removed, and louder guitars were added in the chorus. It became their first song to reach the American charts since 1970 and their first Top 20 hit in the U.S.
