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 him like a Ken doll

    Won’t wash my hair

    Then make him bounce like a basketball

    But you make me wanna act like a girl

    Paint my nails and wear high heels

    Yes you make so nervous that I just can’t hold your hand

    You make me blow

    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

    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

    Background:

    This is a feisty, energetic single that works as the singer’s best mainstream pop achievement. It will appeal to pop audiences across a wide spectrum. The song would leave many less talented vocalists breathless. It shows off Demi Lovato’s voice in both vocal range and dynamics.
