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 my self
It comes out wrong like a cry for help

It's just not fair
Brings 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 [5x]
