I can tell by your expression
That there?s something in the air
You think I?m holdin? out on you
You think that I don?t care
Oh, no, don?t get me wrong
I wouldn?t want to hurt you
And maybe times I come on strong
It?s only self-defense
I can?t deny that sometimes
I appear so cold and heartless
Then you become suspicious
?Cause you can?t make any sense out of me
Every time we talk now
It just ends up in a fight
It starts off in the morning
And it goes on through the night
Oh, no, don?t get me wrong
I wouldn?t want to hurt you
And maybe times I come on strong
It?s only self-defense
I can?t deny that sometimes
I appear so cold and heartless
Then you become suspicious
?Cause you can?t make any sense out of me
You say that I?m a stranger
And you don?t know me anymore
And I try not to listen
?Cause I?ve heard it all before
Tell me what it is you want
And I?ll make it all come true
?Cause I can't talk to anyone
If I can?t talk to you
Oh, no, don?t get me wrong
I wouldn?t want to hurt you
And maybe times I come on strong
It?s only self-defense
I can?t deny that sometimes
I appear so cold and heartless
Then you become suspicious
?Cause you can?t make any sense out of me
Oh, no, don?t get me wrong
Oh, no, don?t get me wrong
