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
That 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...
And though 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 take the
force of the blow
Protection
I stand in
front of you
I take the
force of the blow
Protection
She's a girl
and you're a boy
Sometimes you
look so small
you look so small
You 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 take the
force of the blow
Protection
I stand in
front of you
I 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 yea
You're a girl
and I'm a boy
You're a girl
and I'm a boy yea
Sometimes you look
so small,
need some shelter
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 think
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 take the
force of the blow
Protection
I stand in
front of you
I 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 yea
You're a boy
and I'm a girl
You're a boy
and I'm a girl yea
