Protection (Radiation For The Nation Mix)

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, 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

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

Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter

Just runnin' round and round, Helter Skelter

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

That's just part of the deal

That's the way I feel

I put my arms around you
