this girl i know need 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 leave yourself
but could you forgive yourself
if you left her just the way you found him
i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow
i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow
you're a boy and i'm a girl
but you know you can lean on me
i don't have no fear
i'll take on a name
and hear 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
got a baby of your own
when your baby's gone
she'll be the one to catch you if you fall
i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow
i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow
you're a girl and i'm a boy
you're a girl and i'm a boy
you're a girl and i'm a boy
you're a girl
and i'm the boy
sometimes you look so small
need some shelter
just round and round and round
helter skelter
and i've leaned on him for years
now you can lean on me
and that's more than love
that's the way it should be
i can't change the way you feel
but i can put my arms around you
attention 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
i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow
you're a boy and i'm a girl
you're a boy and i'm a girl
you're a boy and i'm a girl
you're a boy and i'm a girl
love
