[Verse 1]

It's closing time, and I'm leaving

You're holding on to someone new

Are you still picking up the pieces?

Am I still worried about you?

[Chorus]

Why, yes I am, and I always will

Yes I am, and I always will (Ah-ah)

Yes I am, and I always will

Be some protector

[Verse 2]

Holding on from a distance

I'd never wanna intrude (No-uh)

Does he love you any different?

Am I still sounding like a fool?

[Chorus]

Why, yes I am, and I always will

Yes I am, and I always will (Ah-ah)

Yes I am, and I always will

Be some protector

Some protector to ya

[Bridge]

(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah)

(Mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm-ahh)

Am I guilty? Am I sorry?

Do I miss you at the party?

Am I dragging this forever?

Am I thinking 'bout September?

Am I wrecking rеputation

While you're making resеrvations? (Hey)

Am I lying to my mother

That someday I'll find another?

[Chorus]

(Am I guilty? Am I sorry?)

(Do I miss you at the party?) Yes I am, and I always will

(Am I dragging this forever? Am I thinking 'bout September?) Yes I am, and I always will, ah-ah, ah

(Am I wrecking reputation while you're making reservations?) Yes I am, and I always will

Be some protector

Some protector

[Outro]

Be some protector to ya
