This girl I know needs 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 live yourself

But could you forgive yourself

If you left her just the way you found her

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

You're a boy and I'm a girl

But you know you can lean on me

And I don't have no fear

I'll take on any man here

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

I've got a baby of your own

When your baby's grown she'll be the one

To catch you when you fall

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

You're a girl and I'm a boy

You're a girl and I'm a boy yeah

You're a girl and I'm a boy

You're a girl and I'm a boy hey

Sometimes you look so small you need some shelter

Just runnin' round and round helter skelter

And I've leaned on me for years now you can lean on me

And that's more than love that's the way it should be

Now I can't change the way you think

But I can put my arms around you

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 protection

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow protection

You're a boy and I'm a girl

You're a boy and I'm a girl hey

You're a boy and I'm a girl

You're a boy and I'm a girl yeah
