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 

AND YOU'VE 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 
EVERY TIME 

YOU FELL DOWN 
AND YOUR FIRST DAY 
OF SCHOOL 
I CRIED LIKE A FOOL 

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 

4 BAR 
BREAK 

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 

AND 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 

STAND THERE 
AND SMILE 
BUT WHEN I GET HOME 
AND I'M ALL ALONE 

WELL 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 
THOUGH WHEN TOUGH 

LITTLE BOYS 
GROW UP TO BE DADS 
THEY TURN INTO 
BIG BABIES AGAIN 

AND WHEN 
TOUGH LITTLE BOYS 
GROW UP TO BE DADS 
THEY TURN INTO 

BIG BABIES 
AGAIN
