I never once backed down from a punch
Well, I'd take it square on the chin
Well I found out fast, a bullyâs just that
And youâve 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 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 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 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 gonna to stand there and smile
But when I get home and I'm all alone
Then I'll sit in your room for awhile
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
