Putting my defenses up    ’Cause I don’t wanna fall in love                  (stop) 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 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                  (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 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 it all 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 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                  (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 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 And I burst into flames 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                  (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 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

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une lutte intérieure face à l’amour. Elle témoigne d'une peur profonde de s’engager, ce qui pousse la narratrice à se protéger émotionnellement. Malgré sa confiance habituelle, chaque interaction avec cette personne spéciale la rend vulnérable et anxieuse, la poussant à adopter des comportements qu'elle considère peu naturels pour elle. Elle ressent une envie de briller, mais elle préfère cacher ses émotions, par crainte d'une douleur éventuelle. Ce thème de la peur de l’engagement et de la vulnérabilité est quelque chose qui résonne avec beaucoup de gens. Dans un monde où aimer peut aussi faire mal, la difficulté de laisser ses défenses tomber est un dilemme partagé par bien d'autres.
