Find this feeling like a war
And I'm too proud to fall
I'm building myself a wall
From this love that I can't ignore
This heart beat's tricking me into wanting to come close to you
But I can't afford getting hurt again
So I'm just going to take a step back
Please don't stand too close to me
Please don't stand too close to me
You know it's not hard to see
Boy you stole my heart from me
But you gave me a change of view
Never met anyone like you
And you know that I feel it too
But I'm just scared of something new
This heart beat's tricking me into wanting to fall in love with you
And I can't find a reason to walk away
And you keep finding reasons to stay
Please don't stand too close to me
Please don't stand too close to me
You know it's not hard to see
Boy you stole my heart from me
Even though I don't say anything to you I think that by now you should know
Yeah
Even though you won't say anything it's obvious that this is a new love
Yeah
You're tricking me into wanting to come close to you
And I can't afford getting hurt again
So I'm just going to take a step back
Please don't stand too close to me
Please don't stand too close to me
You know it's not hard to see
Boy you stole my heart from me
Even though I don't say anything to you I think that by now you should know
Yeah
Even though you won't say anything it's obvious that this is a new love
Yeah
