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
