Protection - Radiation For The Nation Lyrics - Massive Attack

1 This girl I know needs some shelter

2 She don't believe anyone can help her

3 She's doing so much harm

4 Doing so much damage

5 But you don't want to get involved

6 You tell her she can manage

7 And you can't change the way she feels

8 But you could put your arms around her

9 I know you want to live yourself

10 But could you forgive yourself

11 If you left her just the way

12 You found her

13 I stand in front of you

14 I'll take the force of the blow

15 Protection

16 I stand in front of you

17 I'll take the force of the blow

18 Protection

19 You're a boy and I'm a girl

20 But you know you can lean on me

21 And I don't have no fear

22 I'll take on any man here

23 Who says that's not the way it should be

24 I stand in front of you

25 I'll take the force of the blow

26 Protection

27 I stand in front of you

28 I'll take the force of the blow

29 Protection

30 She's a girl and you're a boy

31 Sometimes you look so small, look so small

32 You've got a baby of your own

33 When your baby's grown, she'll be the one

34 To catch you when you fall

35 I stand in front of you

36 I'll take the force of the blow

37 Protection

38 I stand in front of you

39 I'll take the force of the blow

40 Protection

41 You're a girl and I'm a boy

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

43 You're a girl and I'm a boy

44 You're a girl and I'm a boy, hey

45 Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter

46 You're just runnin' round and round, helter skelter

47 And I've leaned on you for years

48 Now you can lean on me

49 And that's more than love, that's the way

50 It should be

51 Now I can't change the way you think

52 But I could put my arms around you

53 That's just part of the deal

54 That's the way I feel

55 I put my arms around you

56 I stand in front of you

57 I'll take the force of the blow

58 Protection

59 I stand in front of you

60 I'll take the force of the blow

61 Protection

62 You're a boy and I'm a girl

63 You're a boy and I'm a girl, hey

64 You're a boy and I'm a girl

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