Putting 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 him like a Ken doll
Won't wash my hair
Then make them bounce like a basketballBut you make me wanna act like a girl
Painting 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 showSo 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 attackNever 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 its always worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurts
But you, make me wanna act like a girl
Painting my nails and wear perfume
Boy you make me so nervous that I just can't hold your handYou make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it showSo 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 attackThe feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And, yeah, there's no one else to blame
So instead I'll take off in a 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 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
Heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack - tack
Oh I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
