Protection

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
