I never once backed down from a punch
Well, I'd take it square on the chin
And 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
And I followed your school bus to town

Well I didn't cry when 'ole 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, 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

I know one day I'll give you away
And I'm going to stand there and smile
Cause when I get home and I'm all alone
Well, I'll sit in your room for awhile

Well I didn't cry when 'ole 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.

"Tough little boys turn into big babies again".  How true this is. I can still remember the time when my son was a little boy.  He got hurt while playing hide and seek, and had to make a trip to the emergency room to get his nose stitched up. As this tough little boy sat there while the doctor stitched him up, guess what the nurses were doing.  They were caring for 'ole Dad who was swerving and weaving as his rubber legs gave out.  They had to lay Dad down while his tough little boy was being stitched up. And yes, Dad was a tough little boy when he was growing up, but at this time he had definitely turned into a big baby again.
