I don't want to look
Like some kind of fool
I don't want to break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of loveYou say that I could
Show some emotion
That I've been
Keeping secrets from you
But I can see through
All your sweet talk
And all of your affection untrue
I'm gonna find you out
If I scream and I shout
You won't break down my protectionI don't want to look
Like some kind of fool
I don't want to break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of loveI'm gonna lock up
What I'm feeling inside
Ain't no way you can
Break down the door
'Cause this time I've learned my lesson
You can take this declaration of war
Step right back
Put on your coat and your hat
Gonna avoid all complications
