Original Lyrics
Translation in Swedish
Putting my defenses up
Sätter upp mitt försvar
′Cause I don't wanna fall in love
′Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I′d have a heart attack
If I ever did that, I think I′d have a heart attack
Never put my love out on the line
Aldrig lagt ut min kärlek på linjen
Never said yes to the right guy
Aldrig sagt ja till den rätta killen
Never had trouble getting what I want
Aldrig haft problem att få det jag vill ha
But when it comes to you, I'm never good enough
Men när det kommer till dig, är jag aldrig bra nog
When I don't care, I can play ′em like a Ken doll
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
Won′t wash my hair, then make 'em bounce like a basketball
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Men du får mig att bete mig som en tjej
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Måla mina naglar och ha på mig högklackat
Yes, you make me so nervous that I just can′t hold your hand
Yes, you make me so nervous that I just can′t hold your hand
You make me glow
Du får mig att glöda
But I cover up, won't let it show
Men jag låter det inte synas
So I′m putting my defenses up
So I′m putting my defenses up
'Cause I don′t wanna fall in love
'Cause I don′t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
Om jag någonsin gör det tror jag att jag skulle få en hjärtattack
I think I'd have a heart attack
Tror jag att jag skulle få en hjärtattack
I think I′d have a heart attack
I think I′d have a heart attack
Never break a sweat for the other guys
Börjar aldrig svettas för de andra killarna
When you come around, I get paralyzed
När du infinner dig här så blir jag förlamad
And every time I try to be myself
Och varje gång jag försöker vara mig själv
It comes out wrong like a cry for help
Så kommer det ut fel som ett rop på hjälp
It′s just not fair, pain's more trouble than love is worth
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
Jag drar efter andan; det känns så bra, men du vet att det gör ont
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Men du får mig att bete mig som en tjej
Paint my nails and wear perfume for you
Målar mina naglar och bär parfym för sig
Make me so nervous that I just can′t hold your hand
Make me so nervous that I just can′t hold your hand
You make me glow
Du får mig att glöda
But I cover up, won't let it show
Men jag låter det inte synas
So I′m putting my defenses up
So I′m putting my defenses up
'Cause I don′t wanna fall in love
'Cause I don′t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
Om jag någonsin gör det tror jag att jag skulle få en hjärtattack
I think I'd have a heart attack
Tror jag att jag skulle få en hjärtattack
I think I′d have a heart attack
I think I′d have a heart attack
The feelings got lost in my lungs
Känslan försvann i mina lungor
They′re burning, I'd rather be numb (rather be numb)
They′re burning, I'd rather be numb (rather be numb)
And there′s no one else to blame (no one else to blame)
And there′s no one else to blame (no one else to blame)
So scared, I take off, and I run
Så rädd att jag springer iväg
I'm flying too close to the sun
Jag flyger för nära solen
And I burst into fla-fla-flames
Och jag brast i fla-fla-flammor
You make me glow
Du får mig att glöda
But I cover up, won′t let it show
But I cover up, won′t let it show
So I'm putting my defenses up
Så jag sätter upp mitt försvar
′Cause I don't wanna fall in love
′Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack
Om jag någonsin gör det tror jag att jag skulle få en hjärtattack
I think I′d have a heart attack (heart attack)
I think I′d have a heart attack (heart attack)
I think I′d have a heart attack-tack
I think I′d have a heart attack-tack
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 (oh, I think I′d have a heart attack)
I think I'd have a heart attack
Tror jag att jag skulle få en hjärtattack
Writer(s): Aaron Phillips, Demi Lovato, Jason Evigan, Mitch Allan, Nikki Williams, Sean Douglas
