Tough Little Boys

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, 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'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 [Hook] But when tough little boys grow up to be Dads They turn into big babies again [Chorus 1] Scared me to death When you took your first steps And 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 [Post-Chorus] Well I didn't cry, when Old Yeller died At least not in front of my friends [Hook] But when tough little boys grow up to be Dads They turn into big babies again [Verse 2] Well I'm a grown man And as strong as I am Sometimes it's hard to believe That 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 [Hook] How when tough little boys grow up to be Dads They turn into big babies again [Chorus 2] Well I know one day, I'll give you away And I'm gonna to stand there and smile But when I get home, and I'm all alone I'll sit in your room for awhile [Post-Chorus] Well I didn't cry, when Old Yeller died At least not in front of my friends [Hook] 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
