I'm barely hanging on, losing my grip

The hold that I had so strong is starting to slip

I'm trying so hard to hold up my guard

To paint a picture like I'm so tough

But you take me in your arms

And I fall completely apart



All my defenses, all my pretenses

Baby you get to me

Through every resistance with stubborn persistence

Baby you get to me



I can't believe that it's me that spoke like this

To let my emotions run free is so dangerous

I somehow feel so safe

Then you take my breath away



With all my defenses, all my pretenses

Baby you get to me

Through every resistance with stubborn persistence

Baby you get to me



Oh yeah, Oh yeah yeah yeah

Like a light into the dark

Like an arrow to my heart



And all my defenses, all my pretenses

Baby you get to me

Through every resistance with stubborn persistence

Baby you get to me



Through kickin and screamin, reckless and reelin

Baby you get to me

With only one kiss, a moment like this

Baby you get to me



Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah

Oh yeah, baby you get to me

Oh yeah, baby you get to me

Oh yeah yeah yeah, baby you get to me
