Pieces of Music: Heart Attack

Yes, I'm lagging.
But hey, I'm actually hooked on this song.

I'm going to admit, this is something different from the few songs I'm currently hooked on (namely BVB and Avenged Sevenfold), and I'd say I'm liking this new song by Demi.
Let's face it. The girl seriously CANNOT pick the right songs for others to sing and really doesn't have enough experience in the industry to provide really constructive advice, but when it comes to her voice, boy can Demi sing.



Lyrics:
Putting 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 him like a Ken doll
Won't wash my hair
Then make him 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 putting 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
Brings more trouble than it all 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 putting 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
So scared I'll take off and run
I'm flying too close to the sun
And I'll burst into flames

You make me glow
But I cover up, won't let it show
So I'm putting 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
I think I'd have a heart attack
I think I'd have a heart attack

I think the biggest reason why this song is becoming so popular is because most of us can really relate to this. I've italicized the lyrics that I could really relate my feelings and experiences with for you, and really, that's pretty much the entire song.

My take on the song:
It's a good song. The beats, the music...
Most of the lyrics are pretty good too. The only thing is, I really have this problem understanding the Ken doll part and washing hair and bouncing basketballs. Its almost as if that line's there so that they could fit the lyrics into the song. Really, that is the WORST part of the song for me.

Like ew. I wash my hair every night. I'm not going to be dirty (literally) just because I don't care about a guy. And does playing someone like a Ken doll mean fooling around with them?

Maybe someone needs to explain this song to me since clearly, I'm clueless about that part.
