Testo 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 Liner notes on "Lost Masters" bootleg CD: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, The Hit Factory, New York City, August 1, 1983.
