Pulling on the clothes that never really fit Hoping she can get away with it Protection, protection Standing on the pavement climbing into cars Hoping the face reflects the heart Protection All right now. There's not a moment that I'm not Protective of you Riding on a wave of 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, protection All right now. There's not a moment that I'm not protective of you There's not a moment that I'm not effected by 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 emptyness You're tired little girl, you're tired little girl Protection. You're tired little girl Protec5tion. There's not a moment that I'm not protective of you.
