I never once, backed down from a punch.
I'd take it 1 on the chin.
Well I found out fast a bullys just that and you got to stand up to him.
So I 2 't cry when I got a black eye as bad as it hurt I just grinned.
But 3 tough little boys grow up to be Dads
They turn into big 4 again.
Scared me to death when took your first steps,
Well I'd fall everytime you fell down.
Your 5 day of school,
I cried like a fool, I followed your school bus to town.
Well I didn't cry when ol 6 died
at least not in front of my friends.
But when tough 7 boys grow up to be
Dads they turn into big babies again.
Well I'm a grown man and as 8 as I am.
Well sometimes it's hard to believe,
One little 9 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,
I'll sit in your room for awhile.
Cause when tough little boys grow up to be
Dads they turn into big babies again
