 I never once backed down from a punch
Well, I'd take it square on the chin
Well, I found out fast a bully's just that
You got to stand up to him.
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
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
Least not in front of my friends
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 you 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 goin' to stand there and smile.
When I get home and I'm all alone,
Well, I'll sit in your room for awhile.
Well, I didn't cry when ol' Yeller died
Least not in front of my friends
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...
