My friends tell me how they all envy my style
I know deep down what I hide with a smile
'Cause I've had my share of life's burning romance
If you've been pretending I'd rather be ending, now, oh

Stop me from starting this feeling
I've been protecting my heart so long
Stop if I've only been dreaming
Stop what's going on

I've heard it all from the men yhou have known
Just when they fall you go off on your own
My life's the same, I don't need anyone
At least 'till you touch me, I see how it must be

Oh, please, stop me from starting this feeling
Stop if you're playing and nothing more
Stop me from falling in deeper
Hold, on, oh no

Stop me from starting this feeling
I've been protecting my heart so long
Stop if I've only been dreaming
I feel love coming on

Stop me from starting this feeling
I've been protecting my heart so long
Stop if I've only been dreaming
Stop what's going on

Stop me from starting this feeling
I've been protecting my heart so long
Stop unless you really mean it
I feel love coming on
