Lyrics

I gotta protect my heart
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 were like

[Pharrell]
Let me hold you girl, hold you girl
[Kelis]
You were sayin
[Pharrell]
Let me touch you girl
[Kelis]
You were sayin
[Pharrell]
Let me squeeze you girl, squeeze you girl
[Kelis]
You tought me up
[Pharrell]
Let me [pause] you girl

[Kelis]
So when I first got here I knew already
I gotta protect my heart
And the you come change things I knew that someone would flip it
I gotta protect my heart

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

[Kelis]
You were like
[Pharrell]
Let me hold you girl, hold you girl
[Kelis]
You were sayin
[Pharrell]
Let me touch you girl
[Kelis]
You were sayin
[Pharrell]
Let me squeeze you girl, squeeze you girl
[Kelis]
You tought me up
[Pharrell]
Let me [pause] you girl

[Kelis]
So when I first got here I knew already
I gotta protect my heart
And the you come change things I knew that someone would flip it
I gotta protect my heart
Never been touched by the way someone moves and that scares me
I gotta protect my heart
Cupid knew that you were comin, he should have prepared me
I gotta protect my heart

I just need ta
I walk away from the floor
But I could feel myself reverseing
I never gave in before
And that scares me
When you were like

[Pharrell]
Let me hold you girl, hold you girl
[Kelis]
You were sayin
[Pharrell]
Let me touch you girl
[Kelis]
You were sayin
[Pharrell]
Let me squeeze you girl, squeeze you girl
[Kelis]
You tought me up
[Pharrell]
Let me you girl

[Kelis]
So when I first got here I knew already
I gotta protect my heart
And the you come change things I knew that someone would flip it
I gotta protect my heart
Never been touched by the way someone moves and that scares me
I gotta protect my heart
Cupid knew that you were comin, he should've prepared me
I gotta protect my heart

[Pharrell]
Break it down

[Kelis]
So when I first got here I knew already
I gotta protect my heart
And the you come change things I knew that some would flip it
I gotta protect my heart
I gotta protect my heart
I gotta protect my heart
