Protection - Massive Attack

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

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 gone, 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
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 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 feel
but I can put my arms around you

That's just part of the deal
That's the way I feel
I'll 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
You're a boy and I'm a girl
You're a boy and I'm a girl

now I can't change the way you feel
