Protection
This girl I know, needs some shelter
Original
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
Original
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
Original
But could you forgive yourself If you left her just the way you found her?
I stand in front of you
Original
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
Original
But you know you can lean on me And I don't have no fear I'll take on any man here Who says that's not the way it should be
I stand in front of you
Original
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
Original
Sometimes you look so small, you look so small I've got a baby of your own When your baby's grown, she'll be the one To catch you when you fall
I stand in front of you
Original
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
Original
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, hey
Sometimes you look so small
Original
You need some shelter You just runnin' 'round and 'round Helter skelter And I've leaned on you 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 think But I could put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal
Original
That's the way I feel I put my arms around you
I stand in front of you
Original
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
Original
You're a boy and I'm a girl, hey You're a boy and I'm a girl You're a boy and I'm a girl, yeah
