Eels - I Want to Protect You lyrics

Not much of a man But still I am a man And you bring out something inside me A perfect little diamond A fragile little fire You're everything good in the world To me I want to protect you (I want to protect you) I want you to be safe and sound At night in this world Such a delicate girl needs someone To look out for the wolves I want to protect you I say some stupid sh** Don't mean a word of it You know I got a lot of love inside me This world's an ugly place For such a pretty face They're comin' at you from all sides But they gotta get through me I want to protect you (I want to protect you) I want you to be safe and sound At night in this world Such a delicate girl needs someone To look out for the wolves I want to protect you Not many understand But i'm your biggest fan The savage fools cannot appreciate The miracle of you How could it be true You're everything good in the world I want to protect you (I want to protect you) I want you to be safe and sound At night in this world Such a delicate girl needs someone To look out for the wolves I want to protect you I want to protect you Fellas, just look at her (aw...) We gotta keep an eye out on her behalf (yeah)
