Puttin' my defences 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 keep play him 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 puttin' my defences up, 'cause I don't wanna fall in love

If I ever did that I think I'd have a heart attack

Never break a sweat for the other guys, when you come around I get paralyzed

And everytime I try to be myself it comes out wrong like a cry for help

It's just not fair, pain's more trouble than love is worth

I gasp for hair, it feels so good but you know it hurts

But you make me wanna act like a girl, paint my nails and wear perfume

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 puttin' my defences up, 'cause I don't wanna fall in love

If I ever did that 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 in a 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 puttin' my defences up, 'cause I don't wanna fall in love

If I ever did that I think I'd have a heart attack
