Protection

This girl I know needs some shelter

She don't believe anyone can help her

She's doing so much harm doing so much damage

But you don't want to get involved

You tell her she can manage

And you can't change the way she feels

But you could put your arms around her

I know you want to live yourself

But could you forgive yourself

If you left her just the way

You found her

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

She's a girl and you're a boy

Sometimes you look so small look so small

You've got a baby of your own

When your baby's gone she'll be the one

To catch you when you fall

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

You're a girl and i'm a boy

You're a girl and i'm a boy

You're a girl and i'm a boy

You're a girl and i'm a boy

Sometimes you look so small need some shelter

Just runnin' round and round helter skelter

And I've leaned on me for years

Now you can lean on me

And that's more than love that's the way it should be

Now I can't change the way you feel

But I can put my arms around you

That's just part of the deal

That's the way I feel

I'll put my arms around you

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

You're a boy and i'm a girl

You're a boy and i'm a girl

You're a boy and i'm a girl

You're a boy and i'm a girl
