Night after night
I keep holding on
You say you love me
Then you leave me so lonely
Baby I don't believe a word you're sayin'
I think it's all some evil game you're playin'
Still all day long all I do is think about you
You got me believin' that I can't live without you
Well if you want it, here's my confession
Baby I can't help it, you're my obsession
Protection, that's what I need
I need protection, baby, from your love
Protection, that's what I need
I need protection, baby, from your love
I wait at home by the telephone
When I call your house, baby, you're not there
Knock on the door and I rush down the stairs
When I open up, baby, you're not there
When we're together
When we're together and you put your arms around me
You keep my mind
Forever, ever in doubt
You want me believin'
That, baby, I can't live without
Protection, that's what I need
I need protection, baby, from your love
Protection, that's what I need
I need protection, baby, from your love
We stand alone, at my window
And stare out, at the shadows down below
I feel your fingers on my face
I want to stay, I want to run away
Protection, that's what I need
I need protection, baby, from your love
Protection, that's what I need

So all of you be damned we can't have heaven crammed

So winston churchill said I could have smacked his head

And all of those infected waiting to be collected

I must get out at any price before the feeling gets too nice
Chorus

Just can't get, just can't get no protection

Just can't get, just can't get no protection

Just can't get, just can't get no can't get no protection,
G c g c d
Protection, protection
Every bomb is detonated every switch is thrown
And everybody tells me don't be scared act as if you never cared
So I wear a blank expression to conceal my real impression
Turn off all the information radios just pick up that station
Repeat chorus then em/g am/c which repeats over bridge
So turn off this sound I'm ready to go down
I don't know myself, I don't you either
You're full of disease it's something I discovered
I know you've been mixing with big brother's brother
It ain't the knife in the heart that tears you apart
It's just the thought of someone
It's just the thought of someone
Em em
It's just the thought of someone sticking it in, sticking it in
So if you think that's funny I'm not really laughng honey
Your love letters are confetti I ripped them up my hands were sweaty
And then those ghastly faces recur in nightmare places
Happy hours come and go much too short and much too long
Chorus then this rhythm again em/g am/c
Turn off all the information radios just pick up that station
Protection protection protection
It ain't the knife in the heart that tears you apart
It's just the thought of someone sticking it in
Protection protection switch it off switch it off switch it off
Protection switch it off switch it off switch it off
Protection protection you want to hide? you want to hide?

Lay down your arms
Go in peacefully
Lay down your freedom
Your individuality
No place to run
You?re outta sanctuary
So lay down your arms
You juniors got your gun
Hey, we need protection
Yeah, we need protection from the system
All we need?s protection
State your name
Where you?re comin' from?
State your age
Where you?re goin' to?
Hands on your head
Turn and face the wall
You're dead to rights
You?re messing with the law
Hey, we need protection
Yeah, we need protection from the system
All we need?s protection
Hey, we need protection from protection
From protection, from protection, from protection
Hey, we need protection
Yeah, we need protection from the system
All we need?s protection
Yeah, we need protection from protection
From protection, from protection, from protection

Tourists wear their wallets
In high places when abroad
So as not to be ripped off in ways
To which they're not apprised
Lawyers write some goofy terms
In letters to the future
So as not to get all screwed by methods
Here and after devised, so will I
And I guess I will protect myself from you
Sometimes I get so tickled I can't talk
And I will protect myself from you
I'll keep on reminding me, I'm always free to walk
You're not exactly what I'm looking for
You don't even know that when I've got it straight
Now keep it in mind
No you're not what I was looking for
I just need a little bit of what you've got
A little bit, don't make me laugh
And I guess I will protect myself from you
Sometimes I get so tickled I can't talk
But I will protect myself from you
And I'll keep on reminding me, I'm always free to walk
And always free, free to walk, hey
Whatever happens between you and me today
Probably will be okay
But won't bother me in anyway
And I guess I will protect myself from you
Sometimes I get so tickled I can't talk
But I will protect myself from you
And I'll keep on reminding me, I'm always free to walk
Free, F R E E
You can't, you can't hurt me
'Cause I don't care about you
[Incomprehensible] I don't give a shit
And I don't give a shit about you
The pussy ass sounds of white people

Pulling on the clothes that never really fit.
Hoping she can get away with it ... Protection.
Standing on the pavement climbing into cars.
Hoping the face reflects the heart ... Protection.
All right now ... All right now
There's not a moment that I'm not protective of you.
Groping in the darkness, reaching for your shoes.
Nobody cares for a child with your connections.
Talking with the crew she's eager to impress.
Selling us a line in emptiness.
You're tired little girl.
All right now ... All right now
There's not a moment that I'm not protective of you.
There's not a moment that I'm not affected by you.
Riding on a wave you juvenile crime.
I wonder if you can get off on time
or whether you'd want to.
Where did you get that bruise on your face.
You must have come home in a terrible state ... Protection.
All right now ... All right now.
There's not a moment that I'm not protective of you.
There's not a moment that I'm not affected by you.

Stop me, it's a red light
Do the same for you, I guess you're right
Stare at me, head at an angle
Temporarily, extremely fragile
Can't look, that's no surprise
Want a challenge? Try this for size
Read this book, opened it for you
Face so sheer you can see the whole way through
Here is my hand, don't let go
Falling, pick me up
You asked what was up
You may not have much
But what you have is what I need
It's for my own protection
Deja vu, there's more of them
Motivation, get the chromium
Disgraced, it all comes out
Toleration, and I will come around
That was some revelation
No alternatives, can't have duplication
Acknowledgment, there is no time
With this sponsorship, this job just isn't mine
Here is my hand, don't let go
Here is my hand
Falling, pick me up
You asked what was up
You may not have much
But what you have is what I need
It's for my own protection
Protection
Protection
Protection

Tourists wear their wallets in odd places when abroad,
so as not to be ripped off and ways to ..........
Lawyers write some goofy terms in letters to the future,

So will I.
And I guess I will protect myself from you.
Sometimes I get so tickled I just can't talk.

You're not exactly what I'm looking for,
You don't even know that when I've got it straight,
now keep it in mind,
No you're not what I was looking for.
I just need a little more of what you've got.
A little bit dumb, make me laugh.
And I guess I will protect myself from you.
Sometimes I get so tickled I just can't talk.
I will protect myself from you.
I'll keep on reminding me,
I'm always free,
I'm always free to walk.
.......................different country anyway.
Whatever happens between you and me today,
probably will be OK,
but it won't bother me anyway.
And I guess I will protect myself from you.
Sometimes I get so tickled I just can't talk.
I will protect myself from you.
I'll keep on reminding me,
I'm always free,
I'm always free to walk.
Always free.
Free to walk.
You can't hurt me 'cos I don't care about you.

There's a maze
Of nights and days
You don't fear the time
Stars and sky define the road
And they clear our sight
I will be your eyes and ears
Walk with me tonight
Somewhere ahead the gate is open
And the woods alive
Shadows soon rise
I will move on
Leave you behind
Your flame is burning
Kiss me goodbye
It's getting late
I'm still your shield
The world keeps turning
Wounds need time to heal
Hush my child
Now do not weep
Put your hand in mine
I've got promises to keep
I will stand you by
I have given life to you
Find your strength my child
There is a magic world awaiting
Made of light and smiles
Words spoken from the other side
No more pain, no worrying

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, you look so small
I've got a baby of your own
When your baby's grown, 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 yeah
You're a girl and I'm a boy
You're a girl and I'm a boy hey
Sometimes you look so small, you 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 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
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, hey
You're a boy and I'm a girl
