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 my telephone
When I call your house, baby, you’re not home
Knock on the door and I rush down the stairs
When I open up, baby, you’re not there
When we’re together and you put your arms around me
Well all slips away, I'm looking for ???? around me
You keep my mind forever, ever in doubt
You want me belie 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, that’s what I need
I need protection, baby, from your love
Protection, that’s what I need...
