 You  take me to the party, you put me on the stand
 You're  pumpin' up my heart to the beatin' of the band
 You  toss it in the air and you don't care where it lands
 You  take it - you  break it - You're  hurtin' me
  ´Cause  I wasn't prepared - I couldn't  go where you dared
 You got my  whole soul bared - I never  knew that you cared
 (No it just ain't fair)
 I'm  scared (I'm scared) - I'm  scared (I'm scared)
 I'm  scared (I'm scared) - I'm  scared (so scared)
 I'm  scared I'm scared I'm  scared I'm scared I'm  scared
 () = mute attack
 You  take me out to dinner and you swallow me whole
 You're  nothin' but a sinner with a dark black soul
 I  figured I could handle you but I'm just a toy
 You're gettin'  bolder and bolder you're just a bad bad boy
 Because I  wasn't prepared (I'm scared I'm scared)
 I couldn't  go where you dared (I'm scared I'm scared)
 You got my  whole soul bared (I'm so so scared)
 I never  knew that you cared (yeah yeah yeah)
 I'm  scared (I'm scared) - I'm  scared (I'm scared)
 I'm  scared (so scared) - I'm  scared (I´m afraid)
 I'm  scared I'm scared I'm  scared I'm scared I'm  scared
