Protection 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, doing so much damage

4 But you don't want to get involved, you tell her she can manage

5 And you can't change the way she feels

6 But you could put your arms around her

7 I know you want to live yourself, but could you forgive yourself

8 If you left her just the way, you found her

9 I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow, protection

10 I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow, protection

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

12 But you know you can lean on me

13 And I don't have no fear, I'll take on any man here

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

15 I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow, protection

16 I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow, protection

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

18 Sometimes you look so small, look so small

19 You've got a baby of your own when your baby's grown

20 She'll be the one to catch you when you fall

21 I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow, protection

22 I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow, protection

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

24 You're a girl and I'm a boy, you're a girl and I'm a boy, hey
