I don't wanna look like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break my heart over you
I'm building a wall, every day it's getting higher
This time I won't end up another victim of love

You say that I could show some emotion
That I've been keeping secrets from you
But I can see through all your sweet talk
And all of your affection untrue
I'm gonna find you out if you scream and I shout
You won't break down my protection

I don't wanna look like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break my heart over you
I'm building a wall, every day it's getting higher
This time I won't end up another victim of love

I'm gonna lock up what I'm feeling inside
Ain't no way you can break down the door
Cause this time I've learned my lesson
You can take this declaration of war
Step right back, put on your coat and your hat
Gonna avoid all complications

I don't wanna look like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break my heart over you
I'm building a wall, every day it's getting higher
This time I won't end up another victim of love

(Repeat)
