Protection — текст песни (Massive Attack)

[Tracy Thorn]

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 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 [x4]

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 [x4]
