Kelis Lyrics
"Protect My Heart"

I gotta protect my heart
I gotta protect my heart

You were the heart of the spot
But you wouldn't tell me your name
You were like
Girl you ready or not
To dance the entire night away

[Kelis:]
You were like
[Pharrell:]
Let me hold you girl, hold you girl
[Kelis:]
You were sayin'
[Pharrell:]
Let me touch it girl
[Kelis:]
You were sayin'
[Pharrell:]
Let me squeeze you girl, squeeze you girl
[Kelis:]
You tought me up
[Pharrell:]
Let me ... you girl

So when I first got here I knew already
I gotta protect my heart
Make all changes, new decisions and flip it
I gotta protect my heart

The room is oh so hot
If you want more than that then walk away
I'm givin' it all I got
And at the same time tryin' to make ten

[Kelis:]
You were like
[Pharrell:]
Let me hold you girl, hold you girl
[Kelis:]
You were sayin'
[Pharrell:]
Let me touch it girl
[Kelis:]
You were sayin'
[Pharrell:]
Let me squeeze you girl, squeeze you girl
[Kelis:]
You tought me up
[Pharrell:]
Let me ... you girl

So when I first got here I knew already
I gotta protect my heart
Make all changes, new decisions and flip it
I gotta protect my heart
Never been touched by the way someone woo's and that scares me
I gotta protect my heart
You even knew that you were comin', you should've prepared me
I gotta protect my heart

I just need to
I walked away from the door
I could feel myself reverseing
I never gave it before
See I guess that how I've been

[Kelis:]
You were like
[Pharrell:]
Let me hold you girl, hold you girl
[Kelis:]
You were sayin'
[Pharrell:]
Let me touch it girl
[Kelis:]
You were sayin'
[Pharrell:]
Let me squeeze you girl, squeeze you girl
[Kelis:]
You tought me up
[Pharrell:]
Let me ... you girl

So when I first got here I knew already
I gotta protect my heart
Make all changes, new decisions and flip it
I gotta protect my heart
Never been touched by the way someone woo's and that scares me
I gotta protect my heart
You even knew that you were comin', you should've prepared me
I gotta protect my heart

[Pharrell:]
Break it down

So when I first got here I knew already
I gotta protect my heart
Make all changes, new decisions and flip it
I gotta protect my heart
I gotta protect my heart
I gotta protect my heart
