作曲 : Allen, Sampson 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...
