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 wanna get involved
You tell her she can manage
Now you can’t change the way she feels
But you can put your arms around her

I know you wanna live yourself
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
[you 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
Yeah
You’re a girl and I’m a boy
You’re a girl and I’m a boy

Sometimes you look so small
You need some shelter
Just running round and round, helter skelter
And I lean on you for ease
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 think
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
