To you I’m just the man who let you down
The one who never gave you what you need
It’s true I wasn’t always around
Back when you were reaching out for me
I know you think I didn’t care
You say I’m just the hurting kind,
I know you think my heart wasn’t there
But I’m begging you to think it through one more time

CHORUS)
Cause you don’t know a thing about me
If you don’t know how much I miss you
And you don’t know a thing about me
Unless you know how much I need to be with you
Well I see the mistakes I made
The way I acted carelessly
But if you don’t know how much I need your forgiveness
Then you don’t know a thing about me

If I could just go back and make it right
And take the tears away you know I would
I’ve come to you with no excuse tonight
Just a prayer that I’ll be understood
You tell me that I’m never gonna change
I’ll always be the same old guy
You think there’s nothing left for us to say
Before you write me off take a look in my eyes

Chorus

If you don’t know how much I need your forgiveness
Then you don’t know a thing about me

No you don’t know a thing about me
You don’t know a thing about me,
Well you don’t know a thing about me

Intro :
[D/C#] [Bm/A]

I never once backed [F#m/D]down from a punch
Well, I’d take it square on the chin
Well I found out fast, a bullya[D/C#]s just that
And youave got to stand up to him
So I didn’t cry when I [F#m/D]got a black eye
As bad as it hurt I just grinned
But when tough little boys grow up to [D/C#] be Dads[Bm/A]
They turn into big babies again
Scared me to death when you took your first steps
Well I’d fall everytime you fell down[D/C#]
And your first day of school, I cried like a [D/F#]fool
And I followed your school bus to town

Chorus:
Well I didn’t cry when [F#m/D]old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to [D/C#] be Dads[Bm/A]
They turn into big babies again

[D/C#] [Bm/A]

Well I’m a grown man but as [F#m/D]strong as I am
Well sometimes it’s hard to believe
How one little girl with little [D/C#]blonde curls
Can totally terrify me
If you were to ask, my [F#m/D]wife would just laugh
She’d say I know all about men
How tough little boys grow up to [D/C#] be Dads[Bm/A]
They turn into big babies again
Well I know one day I’ll give you away
And I’m gonna to stand there and smile
But when I get home and I’m all a[G/F#]lone
Then I’ll sit in your room for awhile

Chorus:
Well I didn’t cry when [F#m/D]old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to [D/C#] be Dads[Bm/A]
They turn into big babies again

When tough little boys grow up to [D/C#] be Dads
They turn into big babies again

[D/C#] [Bm/A]
