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
