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
