Cover up with love and protection
Guard your love in every direction
Don't give up for fear of rejection
Stand your ground and voice an objection

Run away my sister and brother
Be afraid of love when the lover
Tries to read the book by the cover
Wrapped up in the arm of another

Cover up with love and protection
Guard your love in every direction
Don't give up for fear of rejection
Stand your ground and voice an objection

Cover up prolonging your yearning
Just ahead the fires ar burning
Swim for shore, the tides are now turning
Love the ones you love with your learning

Cover up with love and protection
Guard your love in every direction
Don't give up for fear of rejection
Stand your ground and voice an objection

Look ahead the future's depending
On the brave to now start defending
Tell the world the message you're sending
We don't need an unhappy ending

Cover up with love and protection
Guard your love in every direction
Don't give up for fear of rejection
Stand your ground and voice an objection

Got to be safe if you want to be free
To sit in the shade of the family tree

Run away my sister and brother
Be afraid of love when the lover
Tries to read the book by the cover
Wrapped up in the arm of another

Cover up with love and protection
Guard your love in every direction
Don't give up for fear of rejection
Stand your ground and voice an objection

Got to be safe if you want to be free
To sit in the shade of the family tree
Got to be safe if you want to be free
To sit in the shade of the family tree
Got to be safe if you want to be free
To sit in the shade of the family tree
