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
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 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
Stand in front of you 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 you for years Now you can lean on me An 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 Take the force of the blow Protection
