Been there done that messed around, I'm having fun don't put me down I'll never let you Sweep me off my feet. I won't let you in again, The messages I've tried to send, My information's just not going in. Burning bridges shore to shore, I'll break away from something more I'm not to not to love Until it's cheap. Been there done that messed around I'm having fun don't put me down, I'll never let you Sweep me off my feet. This time baby I'll be bulletproof, This time baby I'll be bulletproof. I won't let you turn around And tell me now I'm much too proud To walk away from something When it's dead. Do do do your dirty words Come out to play when you are heard There's certain things That should be left unsaid. Tick tick tick tick on the watch And life's too short for me to stop Oh baby, your time is running out. I won't let you turn around And tell me now I'm much too proud All you do Is fill me up with doubt. This time baby I'll be bulletproof, This time baby I'll be bulletproof. This time baby I'll be bulletproof, This time baby I'll be bulletproof. This time I'll be bulletproof This time I'll be bulletproof This time I'll be bulletproof (Instrumental) This time baby I'll be bulletproof, This time baby I'll be bulletproof. This time baby I'll be bulletproof, This time baby I'll be bulletproof.
