Protect Yourself next song/previous song Your sensitive nature is nothing you'll admit to Sentimental feelings never get in your way Genuine emotion only causes a commotion Worrying about what people might say All you ever do is protect yourself From people like me Keeping up a tight lip is something that you're used to Not taking any chances, might be friend or foe I could be a shyster or innocent bystander Ah baby but you're never gonna know All you ever do is protect yourself From people like me You're never gonna find out You're never gonna see But you can never hide out You'll never get away from me All you ever do is protect yourself I ask you do you love me, it's an elementary question Not giving me affirmative, but you never say no Sitting on your fences, guarding your defences But baby if you love me just let it show All you ever do is protect yourself From people like me ©1986 Dave Ellis song index
