英文歌曲:Tough Little Boys

Tough Little Boys

Gary Allen

Well I never once
Backed down from a punch¹
Well I'd take it square on the chin
But I found out fast
That bullies² just laugh
And we've got to stand up to them

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
And I'd fall every time you fell down
Your first day of school, I cried like a fool
And 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

Well I'm a grown man
But as strong as I am
Sometimes its hard to believe
How one little girl, with little blonde curls³
Could 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
But 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 a while

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

When tough little boys grow up to be dads
They turn into big babies again

Gary Allan曾被People杂志评为“乡村音乐界最性感的明星”的歌手。这首Tough Little Boys讲述了父亲对女儿的疼爱和不舍，小编自己第一次听这首歌，听到Your first day of school, I cried like a fool，and I followed your school bus to town和Well I know one day, I'll give you away这几句的时候，忍不住就想流眼泪。女孩子们，当你们离开家以后，不要忘记自己的父亲，因为他也许是这个世界上最爱你的男人。
