Tear Down These Walls lyrics

Performed by: Debbie Gibson
Written by: Deborah Gibson
Maybe I thought I wanted to be here
Maybe I thought I wanted your lovin` tonight
The music too slow, the lights too low
But something just wasn`t right
I started to fear your glowing eyes, your tender touch
Your words they were too much for me
But when I tried to push you away
You said you didn`t think I`d want it that way
CHORUS:
When I say no, that`s what I mean
Not maybe so or what`s in between
If I said yes, that`s what it would be
Is that what you heard? No!
So step away from me
True there are some girls who know what they`re doing
People think they get what they deserve
But look who`s calling the kettle black
baby you`ve got some nerve
I do not know why the reasons lie so unclear
But boy you`ve got to understand
If any girl rejects you
Don`t you doubt it`s part of the plan
CHORUS
Ego trips won`t save you when your woman is deceived
Act upon what matters baby, not how you`re perceived
She will love you more and maybe the rest will follow
But not if you push it baby!
