Tough little boys

I never once,
backed down from a punch
well i take it square on the chin
well i found out fast
that bullies just laugh
we've gotta 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 everytime you fell down
and your first day of school,
i cried like a fool
and i followed your school bus to town
Well i didn't cry
when ol' yeller died
at least not in front of my friends
well 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 totally terrify me
If u were to ask
my wife would just laugh
she'd say i know all about men
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
i'll sit in your room for a while
Well i didn't cry
when ol' 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
