Protect Me Songtext
von Pearl Bailey

If my house catches fire, I can live in a tent
If a pickpocket robs me, I can borrow the rent
I don′t need protection from that kind of scare
My worry is more worrisome
I'm putting it into a prayer

Oh Lord, protect me, protect me from falling in love
I can′t afford another fall
Protect me, protect me whenever the dove
Comes with a coo in his call


It's high time that somebody checked me
My last affair almost wrecked me
Protect me, protect me from falling in love
Don't let me listen to that cooing dove
Don′t let me fall in love

Lord, protect me, protect me from falling in love
I can′t afford another fall
Oh protect me, protect me from taking a shove
That sends me over the wall
Soft lights and music affect me
Please make that old moon neglect me
Protect me, protect me from falling in love
Don't let me listen to that cooing dove
Don′t let me fall in love
