Slideshow I made with pictures of the time Born in The USA, when The Boss recorded the song
PROTECTION is a song written by Bruce Springsteen who donated it to Donna Summer for her 1982 album Donna Summer. He appears on Summer's recording of the track, playing guitar solo and providing backing vocals.See Donna Summer's cover on my Youtube page for more details.
The above lyrics are transcribed from a take that Springsteen recorded with the E Street Band recorded in studio in early 1982.
Consideration for Release
Bruce Springsteen's PROTECTION was registered at the United States Copyright Office on 08 Mar 1982. The song was part of an eleven-song selection that Springsteen's manager Jon Landau had in mind for the Born In The USA album, but the song did not make the final cut.
In his 2012 book E Street Shuffle: The Glory Days of Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Clinton Heylin wrote that PROECTION was "almost a surprise inclusion on The Essential Bruce Springsteen bonus rarities disc."
Studio Recording
According to Sony's database of Springsteen recording sessions, PROTECTION was recorded on 23 Feb 1982 at The Hit Factory in New York City, NY. A complete and excellent-quality take of PROTECTION recorded with the E Street Band is in circulation among collectors, and most probably it's the one cut during the 23 Feb 1982 session. The above lyrics are transcribed from that circulating studio version of PROTECTION.
Additionally, six complete and incomplete acoustic home demo takes of PROTECTION are circulating among fans. They are work-in-progress takes recorded at Springsteen's home in Holmdel, NJ, sometime between January and June 1979. Aside from the title, these acoustic demos have very little to do with what was subsequently recorded with the band in 1982. For more details, see home demo version 1, home demo version 2, home demo version 3, home demo version 4, home demo version 5, and home demo version 6.
Bootleg Releases
The 1982 studio version of PROTECTION can be found on several bootlegs, including The Lost Masters Vol. 4 (Labour Of Love), The Lost Masters Essential Collection Vol. 1 (Labour Of Love), and The Genuine Tracks (Scorpio).

Live History
In preparation for Tunnel Of Love Express Tour, PROTECTION is known to have been practiced during at least one of the private rehearsals that took place in late January and early February 1988 at Expo Theater in Fort Monmouth, NJ, prior to the tour's first leg. See the live 28 Jan 1988 version for more details. The song was not played on any of the tour's regular dates.

Noche tras noche
Sigo aguantando
Dices que me amas
Luego me dejas tan solo
Cariño yo no creo una palabra que estás diciendo
Yo creo que todo es un mal juego que estás jugando
Durante todo el día todo lo que hago es pensar en ti
Tienes que creer, que yo no puedo vivir sin ti
Bueno, si tu lo quieres, aquí está mi confesión
Cariño yo no lo puedo evitar, eres mi obsesión
Protección, que es lo que necesito
Necesito protección, cariño, de tu amor
Protección, que es lo que necesito
Necesito protección, cariño, de tu amor
Espero en casa por una llamada tuya
Cuando me llama a tu casa, cariño, tu no estás allí
Llaman a la puerta y me apresure a bajar las escaleras
Cuando abro, cariño, tu no estás allí
Cuando estamos juntos
Cuando estamos juntos y tu pones tus brazos alrededor de mí
Mantener mi mente
Para siempre, nunca en duda
Me quieres eso creo
Eso, cariño, no puedo vivir sin ti
Protección, que es lo que necesito
Necesito protección, cariño, de tu amor
Protección, que es lo que necesito
Necesito protección, cariño, de tu amor
Estamos solos, en mi ventana
Y miro afuera, en las sombras de abajo
Puedo sentir sus dedos en mi cara
Quiero quedarme, quiero huir
Protección, que es lo que necesito
Necesito protección, cariño, de tu amor
Protección, que es lo que necesito
Necesito protección, cariño, de tu amor
