Karaoké Protection Massive Attack feat. Tracey Thorn

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 wanna get involved

You tell her she can manage

Now you can't change the way she feels but you could put your arms around her

I know you wanna 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-ou

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

And I'll stand in front of you-ou

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

I'll stand in front of you-ou

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

She's a girl and you're a boy

Sometimes you look so small

You 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'll stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

I'll stand in front of you-ou

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 yeah

Sometimes you look so small

You need some shelter

You're 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 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

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

I'll stand in front of you-ou

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 hey

You're a boy and I'm a girl

You're a boy and I'm a girl yeah
