sometimes you look so small...

[Soundtrack: Massive Attack - Protection]

 

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

 

Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter

Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter

And I've leaned on me

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 can put my arms around you

That's just part of the deal

That's the way I feel

I put my arms around you

 

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection
