Wall
I’m building a wall around this heart of mine
In order to keep everyone out.
I’m making it of stone and brick,
Making it three feet thick.
Got to stay on my feet this time.
Please don’t let me fall in love,
And keep me away from them all.
I know I don’t need to fall,
Flat upon my face once again.
I've just got to run away,
From all of this pain,
For I have nothing to gain.
Men just hurt me
Over and over again.
They step all over this heart of mine
And leave it in such a bind.
This is what I have to do
To keep them all out
Keep them from hurting me
Just get them to let me be.
