Puttin' 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 '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 that 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 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

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 that 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 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 (no one else to blame)

So scared, I take off and I run

I'm flyin' 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 defenses up

'cause I don't wanna fall in love

If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack (yeah, yeah)

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.
