[Verse 1]
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 its all some evil game you're playin'

[Pre-Chorus]
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, well, here is my confession
Baby, I can't help it, you're my obsession

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I wait at home by the telephone
When I call your house, baby, you're not home
Knock on the door and I rush down the stairs
When I open up, baby, you're not there

[Pre-Chorus]
When we're together and you put your arms around me
Your love sweeps away all the confusion that's around me
You keep my mind forever, ever in doubt
You want me believin' that, baby, I can't live without
[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
We stand alone at my window
And stare out at the shadows down below
I feel your fingers on my face
I wanna stay, I wanna run away

[Chorus]
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
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

[Outro]
Protection, that's what I need
I need protection, from your love
Protection, that's what I need
I need protection, baby, from your love
I need protection
I want protection
I need protection
