Tough Little Boys
I never once backed down from a punch
Well, I'd take it square on the chin
But, I found out fast
A bully's just that
You've got to stand up to him
So, I didn't cry when I got a black eye
As bad as it hurt, I just grinned
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
Scared me to death
When you took your first steps
Well, I'd fall every time you fell down
Your first day of school, I cried like a fool
And I followed your school bus to town
Well, I didn't cry when Old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
Well, I'm a grown man
But as strong as I am
Well, sometimes it's hard to believe
How one little girl with little blonde curls
Can it totally terrify me?
If you were to ask
My wife would just laugh
She'd say I know all about men
And how tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
Well, I know one day I'll give you away
And I'm gonna stand there and smile
But when I get home, and I'm all alone
Well, I'll sit in your room for a while
Well, I didn't cry when Old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
When tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
Well, I'd take it square on the chin
But, I found out fast
A bully's just that
You've got to stand up to him
So, I didn't cry when I got a black eye
As bad as it hurt, I just grinned
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
Scared me to death
When you took your first steps
Well, I'd fall every time you fell down
Your first day of school, I cried like a fool
And I followed your school bus to town
Well, I didn't cry when Old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
Well, I'm a grown man
But as strong as I am
Well, sometimes it's hard to believe
How one little girl with little blonde curls
Can it totally terrify me?
If you were to ask
My wife would just laugh
She'd say I know all about men
And how tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
Well, I know one day I'll give you away
And I'm gonna stand there and smile
But when I get home, and I'm all alone
Well, I'll sit in your room for a while
Well, I didn't cry when Old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
When tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
