Putting my defenses up
‘Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
Never put my love out on the line
Never said yes to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I'm never good enough
When I don't care
I can play 'em like a ken doll
Won't wash my hair
Then make 'em bounce like a basketball
But you
Make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yes, you
Make me so nervous
That I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow
But I cover up
Won't let it show
So I'm putting my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
Never break a sweat for the other guys
When ya come around, I get paralyzed
And every time I try to be myself
It comes out wrong, like a cry for help
It's just not fair
Pain's more trouble than it all is worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurts
But you
Make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume
For you
Make me so nervous
That I just can't hold your hand
You make me glow
But I cover up
Won't let it show
So I'm putting my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
The feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And there's no one else to blame
So scared I'll take off and run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I burst into flames
You make me glow
But I cover up
Won't let it show
So I'm putting my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
