This girl I know
needs some shelter
but she don't believe
anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm
doing so much damage
but you don't
wanna get involved
You tell her
she can manage
Now 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've got a baby
of your own
and when your
baby's grown
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
But sometimes
you look so small
you need some shelter
You're just runnin'
'round and 'round
helter skelter
And I've leaned on
you 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 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
