I don't wanna control you
But it's not what I mean
'Cause of the heart of it
You want what I need
But it is true like you say it is I have been too sure
That you'd be a part of it
Let's go back to the start of it

I thought I couldn't lose you
I left your worries aside (ooh)
And did what I always do
It made you run and hide
I, I, I am such a fool, such a fool, such a fool, too cool
Not born at the start of this
Get back to the heart of it

Can you put it in your heart
Do you know what I'm asking?
Protection
Protection
Can you trust in me
And you know what I'm asking
Connection
Connection
Don't you know what we're standing for
Don't you know what we stand to lose
It's a lie

This is all why I want you
Nobody works me this hard (ooh)
I give you my best, the investment is testament to all that we are, ooh
All we can be is a mystery
And loving me, I go uhuuuhu
And I will do right by you, right by you, right by you, right by you (ooh)

Can you put it in your heart
Do you know what I'm asking?
Protection
Protection
Can you trust in me?
And do you know what I'm asking?
Connection
Connection
Don't you know what is mine to lose
Don't you know what it's mine to work?
It's a lie
Oh it's a lie
It's a lie
