Protection Lyrics

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
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/protection-lyrics-bruce-springsteen.html ] 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
