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 grown, 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 [4x]
Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
And I've leaned on me
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 can put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal

That's the way I feel
I 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 [4x]
