I gotta protect my heart

[Kelis]
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
You and i

[Pharrell]
Let me hold you girl, hold you girl
[Kelis]
You were sayin

Let me squeeze you girl, squeeze you girl
[Kelis]
You turned me on
[Pharrell]
Let me you girl

[Kelis]
So when I first got here I knew love barely
I gotta protect my heart
And then you come changing things, I knew that's unfair babe
I gotta protect my heart

The room is oh so hot
If you want move than move out of the way
I'm givin it all I got
And at the same time tryin to maintain

[Kelis]
So when I first got here I knew love barely
I gotta protect my heart
Then you come and change things you know that's unfair babe
I gotta protect my heart
Never been touched by the way someone moves and that scares me
I gotta protect my heart
If cupid knew you were comin, he should have prepared me
I gotta protect my heart

I could feel myself reverseing
I never gave it before
See I guess that's what happend
When you were like

I gotta protect my heart
Never been touched by the way someone moves and that scares me
I gotta protect my heart
If cupid knew you were comin, he should have prepared me

So when I first got here I knew love barely
I gotta protect my heart
Then you come and change things you know that's unfair babe
I gotta protect my heart
I gotta protect my heart
I gotta protect my heart
