Truth  is  I never was  young
 Shot like a bullet  from a rusty  old gun
 I could never find the straight  and true
 Honey, baby, till I  found you
 I ain't  sayin' I ever grown  up, girl
 Oh, I'm the biggest  baby in  the world
 I know you can say a lot  about that
 But you're so sweet, you keep it  under your hat
 Honey, I'm  still the same  old man
 That you married  way  back when
 A few less brain cells, a lot  less hair
 Honey, tell me, do you  still care?
 I love you more  than I ever  did
 I love you just  like a little  kid
 Guess I'll always be your biggest  fan
 Honey, I'm still the same  old man
 We been down  a rough road  or two
 This is another  one we'll  get through
 Don't ask me how  I know
 I'm just saying, baby, please  don't go
 Cause I can still  sparkle up  your eyes
 You can still  cut me down  to size
 Please take me as  I am
 Honey, I'm still the same  old man
 Repeat Chorus
 You start out trying  to change everything
 You wind up dancing  with  who you bring
 I loved you then and my love  still stands
 Honey, I'm still the same  old man
