Bulletproof
La Roux · La Roux [2009]
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 tried to send
My information's just not going in
Burning bridges shore to shore
I break away from something more
I'm not turned on 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 its dead
Do do do your dirty words
Come out to play
When you are hurt?
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 x4
This time I'll be
Bulletproof
This time I'll be
Bulletproof
This time baby
I'll be bulletproof x2
This time baby, this time baby
This time baby, this time
This time baby, this time baby
This time baby, this time
Bulletproof
