Puttin’ my defences up
‘Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a moyo attack

Never put my upendo out on the line
Never alisema "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 wewe make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yes, wewe make me so nervous
And I just can’t hold your hand

wewe make me glow, but I cover up
Won’t let it show, so I’m...

'Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a moyo attack [3x]

Never break a sweat for the other guys
When wewe 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 zaidi trouble than upendo is worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but wewe know it hurts

But wewe make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume
For wewe make me so nervous
And I just can’t hold your hand

wewe make me glow, but I cover up
Won’t let it show, so I’m...

I think I’d have a moyo attack [3x]

The feelings are Lost in my lungs
They’re burning, I’d rather be numb
Yeah, there’s no one else to blame (no one else)
So scared I take off in a run
I’m flying too close to the sun
And I burst into flames

wewe make me glow, but I cover up
Won’t let it show, so I’m...

Puttin’ my defences up
‘Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a moyo attack [5x]
