I don't wanna look like some kind of fool

I don't wanna 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 wanna look like some kind of fool

I don't wanna 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 wanna look like some kind of fool

I don't wanna 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
