1. Putting my defenses up

'Cause I don't wanna fall in love

C (stop)

If I ever did that

(Em)

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

R: You make me glo-o-o-o-o-ow, but I cover up

Won't let it sho-o-o-o-o-ow, so I'm

Putting my defenses up

'Cause I don't wanna fall in love

C (stop)

If I ever did that

I think I'D have A heart atta-A-A-A-A-ack

I think I'D have A heart atta-A-A-A-A-ack

I think I'd have a heart attack

2. Never break a sweat for the other guys

When ya 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

B7

That I just can't hold your hand

R: You make me glo-o-o-o-o-ow, but I cover up...

*: The feelings are lost in my lungs

They're burning, I'd rather be numb

And there's no one else to blame

So instead I'll take off in a run

I'm flying too close to the sun

B7

And I burst into flames

R: You make me glo-o-o-o-o-ow, but I cover up...
