Lyrics

[00:41.640] This girl I know needs some shelter
[00:47.130] She don't believe anyone can help her
[00:52.440] She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
[00:58.120] But you don't want to get involved
[01:01.000] You tell her she can manage
[01:03.850] And you can't change the way she feels
[01:06.630] But you could put your arms around her
[01:12.330]
[01:15.380] I know you want to live yourself
[01:18.450] But could you forgive yourself
[01:21.270] If you left her just the way
[01:24.100] You found her
[01:25.840]
[01:26.580] I stand in front of you
[01:29.530] I'll take the force of the blow
[01:32.730] Protection
[01:36.440]
[01:38.040] I stand in front of you
[01:40.870] I'll take the force of the blow
[01:44.150] Protection
[01:48.310]
[01:49.550] You're a boy and i'm a girl
[01:52.120] But you know you can lean on me
[02:00.790] And I don't have no fear
[02:03.360] I'll take on any man here
[02:06.880] Who says that's not the way it should be
[02:10.680]
[02:11.990] I stand in front of you
[02:15.010] I'll take the force of the blow
[02:18.220] Protection
[02:22.830]
[02:23.520] I stand in front of you
[02:26.330] I'll take the force of the blow
[02:29.540] Protection
[02:33.320]
[02:34.870] She's a girl and you're a boy
[02:38.010] Sometimes you look so small, look so small
[02:46.300] You've got a baby of your own
[02:49.960] When your baby's gone, she'll be the one
[02:53.920] To catch you when you fall
[02:56.820]
[02:57.560] I stand in front of you
[03:00.500] I'll take the force of the blow
[03:03.720] Protection
[03:07.530]
[03:09.010] I stand in front of you
[03:11.770] I'll take the force of the blow
[03:15.170] Protection
[03:19.200]
[03:20.500] You're a girl and i'm a boy
[03:26.080] You're a girl and i'm a boy
[03:31.740] You're a girl and i'm a boy
[03:37.480] You're a girl and i'm a boy
[03:40.910]
[03:43.480] Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
[03:49.320] Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
[03:54.550] And I've leaned on me for years
[03:57.820] Now you can lean on me
[04:00.600] And that's more than love, that's the way it should be
[04:05.760] Now I can't change the way you feel
[04:08.650] But I can put my arms around you
[04:14.170]
[04:17.450] That's just part of the deal
[04:20.950] That's the way I feel
[04:23.400] I'll put my arms around you
[04:28.050]
[04:28.580] I stand in front of you
[04:31.390] I'll take the force of the blow
[04:34.790] Protection
[04:39.050]
[04:39.970] I stand in front of you
[04:42.750] I'll take the force of the blow
[04:45.990] Protection
[04:49.950]
[04:51.490] You're a boy and i'm a girl
[04:57.060] You're a boy and i'm a girl
[05:02.750] You're a boy and i'm a girl
[05:08.570] You're a boy and i'm a girl
[05:13.150]
