Protection

You're a boy and I'm a girl, hey
I stand in front of you
Doing so much damage
And that's more than love, that's the way it should be

I'll take the force of the blow, protection
You're a girl and I'm a boy hey

You're a girl and I'm a boy yeah
If you left her just the way you found her
She's doing so much harm

I stand in front of you
When your baby's grown, she'll be the one
I'll take the force of the blow, protection
I'll take the force of the blow, protection
I'll take the force of the blow, protection

You're a girl and I'm a boy
And I've leaned on me for years now you can lean on me
I'll take the force of the blow, protection

You're a boy and I'm a girl
Who says that's not the way it should be
Now I can't change the way you think

Sometimes you look so small, you look so small
I stand in front of you
And I don't have no fear
I stand in front of you
You're a boy and I'm a girl
That's the way I feel
I've got a baby of your own
To catch you when you fall
I'll take the force of the blow, protection
I'll take the force of the blow, protection
But could you forgive yourself

I stand in front of you
You tell her she can manage
I stand in front of you
I stand in front of you
You're a girl and I'm a boy
But you could put your arms around her

But I can put my arms around you
I know you want to live yourself
You're a boy and I'm a girl
I'll take the force of the blow, protection
She's a girl and you're a boy
I'll take on any man here

I stand in front of you
I put my arms around you
But you don't want to get involved
Sometimes you look so small, you need some shelter
And you can't change the way she feels
That's just part of the deal
But you know you can lean on me

Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
