Puttin' my defences 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 'em like a ken doll

Won't wash my hair

Then make 'em 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

And I just can't hold your hand.

You make me glow, but I cover up

Won't let it show, so I'm.

Puttin' my defences up

'cause I don't wanna fall in love

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 paralyzed

And every time I try to be myself

It comes out wrong like a cry for help.

It's just not fair

Pain's more trouble than love 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

And I just can't hold your hand.

You make me glow, but I cover up

Won't let it show, so I'm.

Puttin' my defences up

'cause I don't wanna fall in love

If I ever did that

I think I'd have a heart attack. [x3]

The feelings are lost in my lungs

They're burning, I'd rather be numb

And there's no one else to blame

So scared I take off in a run

I'm flying too close to the sun

And I burst into flames.

You make me glow, but I cover up

Won't let it show, so I'm.

Puttin' my defences up

'cause I don't wanna fall in love

If I ever did that

I think I'd have a heart attack. [x5]
