Protection Lyrics - Everything But The Girl

Protection 

by Massive Attack 

Published 

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 

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 

I'll take the force of the blow, protection 

I stand in front of you 

I'll 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 

I'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 

I stand in front of you 

I'll 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 yeah 

You're a girl and I'm a boy 

You're a girl and I'm a boy hey 

Sometimes you look so small, you need some shelter 

Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter 

And I've leaned on me 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 put my arms around you 

I stand in front of you 

I'll take the force of the blow, protection 

I stand in front of you 

I'll 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, hey 

You're a boy and I'm a girl 

You're a boy and I'm a girl, yeah
