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...

You're tired little girl Protec5tion... There's not a moment that I'm not protective of you...
