Demi Lovato - Heart Attack Lyrics

Demi Lovato Lyrics

"Heart Attack"

Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack

Never put my love out on the line
Never said "Yes" to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I'm never good enough

When I don't care
I can play 'em like a Ken doll
Won't wash my hair
Then make 'em bounce like a basketball

But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yes, you make me so nervous
That I just can't hold your hand

You make me glow
But I cover up
Won't let it show
So I'm

Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack

Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around, I get paralyzed
And every time I try to be myself
It comes out wrong like a cry for help

It's just not fair
Pain's more trouble than love is worth
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurts

But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume for you
Make me so nervous
That I just can't hold your hand

You make me glow
But I cover up
Won't let it show
So I'm

Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack

The feelings got lost in my lungs
They're burning, I'd rather be numb
And there's no one else to blame (no one else)
So scared I take off and I run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I burst into flames

You make me glow
But I cover up
Won't let it show
So I'm

Puttin' my defenses up
'Cause I don't wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack (heart attack)
I think I'd have a heart attack (-tack)
Oh, I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack

The first single from Demi Lovato's fourth studio album.

Demi Lovato described this song to MTV News, "The title is just about falling in love and taking that risk. But she's terrified, and by 'she' I mean me. But I think everyone comes to a point where they feel very vulnerable in falling in love and that's what I'm talking about."

This track was exclusively released on iTunes in the United States on the 24th of February 2013.

Demi Love told Extra that the cover of this single was her best photo shoot, despite the fact that she had slipped and broken her leg just hours before the shooting session.

Nikki Williams originally penned this song one Halloween night during a studio session for her debut album. She told Billboard magazine, "That song just happened. It was just a good flow with the other writers. But I knew it wasn't for me. It just didn't fit in with the rest of my album."

Co-producer Jason Evigan recalled to MTV News, "Demi came in to do another song called 'Two Pieces' and then we played her 'Heart Attack' and she freaked out about it. So she came in to record it and then she actually had a couple of lyric changes that were really good. She added that super high note at the end and she added some really cool things to it and she brought that song to life."
