guard up Lyrics

Yeah, you talkin' a big game

Boy, you're really sweet

Throw a line out, reel me in

To your vicinity

Yeah, you got me hooked on

Oh, so very deep

Got me cryin' to my friends

Oh, I'm feelin' weak

Never thought I'd do this before

Put myself out and release control

Hesitate to give my heart to the one I'm with

What are we doin'

I gotta keep my guard up

Oh, I know why they got walls up

Even though you may be better

It may not be good enough, oh

I gotta keep my guard up

Don't want to make our minds up

Understand for what you signed up

'Cause I know it ain't real if I gotta keep my guard up, boy

I gotta keep my guard up

Now, I know why they got walls up

I gotta keep my guard up

Oooh

Now we're in it and it's real

At least it is to me

You don't feel like listenin'

And it cuts me deep

Oh, I know your situation

So I keep it in

But I'm still cryin' by myself

Makin' my liver weak

Never thought I'd do this before

Consistently distraught and vulnerable

Hesitate to stay with the one I'm with

Oh, what am I doin'

I gotta keep my guard up

Oh, I know why they got walls up

Even though you may be better

It may not be good enough, oh

I gotta keep my guard up

Don't want to make our minds up

Understand for what you signed up

'Cause I know it ain't real if I gotta keep my guard up, boy

I gotta keep my guard up

Don't wanna waste my time, no

I gotta keep my guard up

Oooh

Feelin' inconvenient

Don't know if I can talk to you

Debatin' should I send it

Oh, I just like to talk to you

I can tell that you ain't with it

So I try to keep my mouth shut

What are we doin'

I gotta keep my guard up, boy

I gotta keep my guard up

Oh, I know why they got walls up

Even though you may be better

It may not be good enough, oh

I gotta keep my guard up

Don't want to make our minds up

Understand for what you signed up

'Cause I know it ain't real if I gotta keep my guard up, boy

I gotta keep my guard up, baby

Now I know why they got walls up, baby

Understand for what you signed up

'Cause I know it ain't real if I gotta keep my guard up, boy

Yikes

Hey

I know it ain't real 'cause I gotta keep my guard up
