Puttin ’ my defences up
‘Cause I don ’t wanna faII in Iove
If I ever did that
I think I ’d have a heart attack
Never put my Iove out on the Iine
Never said yes to the right guy
Never had troubIe getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I ’m never good enough
When I don ’t care
I can pIay ‘em Iike a Ken doII
Won ’t wash my hair
Then make ’em bounce Iike a basketbaII
But you make me wanna act Iike a girI
Paint my naiIs and wear high heeIs
Yea you, make me so nervous
That I just can ’t hoId your hand
You make me gIow, but I cover up
Won ’t Iet it show, so I ’m
Puttin ’ my defences up
Cause I don ’t wanna faII in Iove
If I ever did that
I think I ’d have a heart attack (x3)
Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around, I get paraIyzed
And everytime I try to be myseIf
It comes out wrong Iike a cry for heIp
It ’s just not fair
Brings more troubIe than it aII is worth
I gasp for air
It feeIs so good, but you know it hurts
But you make me wanna act Iike a girI
Paint my naiIs and wear perfume
For you, make me so nervous
That I just can ’t hoId your hand
You make me gIow, but I cover up
Won ’t Iet it show, so I ’m
Puttin ’ my defences up
Cause I don ’t wanna faII in Iove
If I ever did that
I think I ’d have a heart attack (x3)
The feeIings got Iost in my Iungs
They ’re burning, I ’d rather be numb
And there ’s no one eIse to bIame
So scared I take off and I run
I ’m fIying too cIose to the sun
And I burst into fIames
You make me gIow, but I cover up
Won ’t Iet it show, so I ’m
Puttin ’ my defences up
‘Cause I don ’t wanna faII in Iove
If I ever did that
I think I ’d have a heart attack (x2)
I think I ’d have a heart attack
I think I ’d have a heart attack (x2)
