Lyric Protection

[Tracy Thorn]

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

You re a boy and i m a girl
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
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 [x4]

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 [x4]
