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 

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 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 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 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 attack 

The feelings got lost in my lungs 
They're burning, I'd rather be numb 
And there's no one else to blame 
So scared I'll take off and 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 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 attack 
I think I'd have a heart attack 
I think I'd have a heart attack
