Protection

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 it's all some evil game you're playin'



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, here's my confession

Baby i can't help it, you're my obsession



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



I wait at home by the telephone

When i call your house, baby, you're not there

Knock on the door and i rush down the stairs

When i open up, baby, you're not there

When we're together

When we're together and you put your arms around me



You keep my mind

Forever, ever in doubt

You want me believin'

That, baby, i can't live without



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



We stand alone, at my window

And stare out, at the shadows down below

I feel your fingers on my face

I want to stay, i want to run away



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
