[English]

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

So scared I take off and I 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 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 (heart attack)

I think I’d have a heart attack

Oh I think I’d have a heart attack

I think I’d have a heart attack
