UB40 - Cover up

with loving protection
guard your love
in every direction
don't give up
for fear of rejection
stand your ground and voice on objection.

run away my sister and brother
be afraid of love when the lover tries to read the book by the cover
wrapped up in the arms of another

cover up
with loving protection
guard your love
in every direction
don't give up
for fear of rejection
stand your ground and voice on objection

cover up prolonging the yearning
just ahead the fires are burning
swim for shore the tides are now turning
love the ones you love with your learning cover up
with loving protection
guard your love
in every direction
don't give up
for fear of rejection
stand your ground and voice on objection

look ahead the future's depending
on the brave to now start defending
tell the world the message you're ending

cover up
with loving protection
guard your love
in every direction
don't give up
for fear of rejection
stand your ground and voice on objection

got to be safe if you want to be free
to sit in the shade of the family tree
