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 {x2}

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
I´ll take the force of the blow
Protection {x2}

She´s a girl and you´re a boy
Sometimes you look so small, look so small
You´ve 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´ll take the force of the blow
Protection {x2}

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 me
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 put my arms around you

I stand in front of you
I´ll take the force of the blow
Protection {x2}

You´re a boy and I´m a girl (x4)
