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 him like a Ken doll 

Won't wash my hair 

Then make him 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 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 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'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 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 

I think I'd have a heart attack 

I think I'd have a heart attack
