Protection

This girl I know
Needs some shelter
She don't believe anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm
She's doing so much damage
That you don't wanna get involved
You tell her she can manage
You can't change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around her

I know you want to 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
And take the force of the blow
You're a boy and I'm a girl
But you know you can lean on me

And I don't have any fear
I'll take on any man here
Who says that's not the way it should be

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
She's a girl and you're a boy
Sometimes 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
Sometimes you look so small, you need some shelter
You're just running round, helter-skelter
I leaned on you, now you can lean on me
That's more than love, that's the way it should be
I can't change the way you feel
But I could put my arms around you

I'll stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
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
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
