You're a boy and I'm a girl, hey
Sometimes you look so small, you look so small
Now I can't change the way you think
I stand in front of you
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow, protection
I've got a baby of your own
When your baby's grown, she'll be the one
Sometimes you look so small, you need some shelter
You're a boy and I'm a girl

And I've leaned on me for years now you can lean on me
I stand in front of you
Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
I'll take the force of the blow, protection

But you know you can lean on me
I'll take the force of the blow, protection
To catch you when you fall
I'll take on any man here
I stand in front of you
You're a boy and I'm a girl, yeah
I'll take the force of the blow, protection
I know you want to live yourself
Who says that's not the way it should be

But could you forgive yourself
But you don't want to get involved
I'll take the force of the blow, protection
You're a girl and I'm a boy yeah
I stand in front of you

You're a girl and I'm a boy hey
And you can't change the way she feels
You tell her she can manage
You're a girl and I'm a boy
I'll take the force of the blow, protection
That's just part of the deal

You're a boy and I'm a girl

And that's more than love, that's the way it should be
I put my arms around you
That's the way I feel
I stand in front of you
If you left her just the way you found her
But you could put your arms around her
I'll take the force of the blow, protection
I stand in front of you
But I can put my arms around you

You're a boy and I'm a girl
You're a girl and I'm a boy
I'll take the force of the blow, protection
Doing so much damage

She's a girl and you're a boy

And I don't have no fear
She's doing so much harm
I stand in front of you
