I don't want to look Like some kind of fool I don't want to break My heart over you I'm building a wall Everyday 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 I scream and I shout You won't break down my protection I don't want to look Like some kind of fool I don't want to break My heart over you I'm building a wall Everyday 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 want to look Like some kind of fool I don't want to break My heart over you I'm building a wall Everyday it's getting higher This time I won't end up Another victim of love
