Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attackNever 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 enoughWhen I don't care
I can play 'em like a Ken doll
Won't wash my hair
Then make 'em bounce like a basketballBut 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 handYou make me glow,
But I cover up
Won't let it show,
So I'm...Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack [3x]Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around, I get paralyzed
And every time I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for helpIt's just not fair
Pain's more trouble than love is worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurtsBut 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 handYou make me glow,
But I cover up
Won't let it show,
So I'm...Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack [3x]The feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And there's no one else to blame (no one else)
So scared I take off and I run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I burst into flamesYou make me glow,
But I cover up
Won't let it show,
So I'm...Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack [5x]
