Putting my defenses up,
'Cause I don't want to 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 him like a Ken doll...
Won't wash my hair
Then make him bounce like a basketball.
But you make me want to act like a girl,
Paint my nails and wear high heels...
Yes, you make 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 want to 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 you 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,
Brings more trouble than it all is worth.
I gasp for air,
It feels so good, but you know it hurts!
But you make me want to act like a girl,
Paint my nails and wear perfume
For you, make 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 want to 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'll 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 want to 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,
I think I'd have a heart attack,
I think I'd have a heart attack!
