Everything But The Girl - Protection

This girl I know
Needs some shelter
But she don't believe anyone can help her
She's doin' so much harm
Doin' so much damage
But you don't wanna 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 wanna live yourself
But could you forgive yourself
If you left her just the way you found her

I'll stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I'll 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'll stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I'll stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
She's a girl and you're a boy
But sometimes you look so small
You look so small

You got a baby of your own
When your baby's gone
She'll be the one to catch you when you fall
I'll stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I'll 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
hey

Sometimes you look so small
You need some shelter
You're just running round and round
Helter Skelter
And I've leaned on you for years
Now you can lean on me
That's more than love
That's the way it should be
Now I can't change the way you feel
But I could 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'll stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I'll 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
hey
You're a boy and I'm a girl
You're a boy and I'm a girl
yeah
