This girl I know needs some shelter

But 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

Now you can't change the way she feels

But you could put your arm 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'll stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

I'll 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'll stand in front of you

Take the force of the blow

Protection

I'll stand in front of you

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'll stand in front of you

Take the force of the blow

Protection

I'll stand in front of you

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

I need some shelter

Just run around helter skelter

And I've leaned on you before

Now you can lean on me

That's more then it will ever be

That's the way it should be

I can't change the way you feel

But I could 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'll stand in front of you

Take the force of the blow

Protection

I'll stand in front of you

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

Hey

You're a boy and I'm a girl

You're a boy and I'm a girl
