Lyrics:

Well I never once backed down from a punch
Well I take it square on the chin
Well I found out fast that bullies just laugh
And weve got to stand up again
So I didnt cry when I got a black eye
As bad as it hurt Id 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 Id fall every time you fell down
Your first day to school I cried like a fool
And I followed your school bus to town
Well I didnt 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 Im a grown man but as strong as I am
Well sometimes its hard to believe
That one little girl with little blond curls
Can totally terrify me
If you were to ask my wife would just laugh
Shed say I know all about men
Now tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again
Well I know one day Ill give you away
And Im gonna stand there and smile
But when I get home and Im all alone
And Ill sit in your room for a while
Well I didnt 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
