He was nothing but scared
For his little girl
To fall in love
With a stupid boy

He tried to save her
From leaving his arms
"Don't run to him
He'll break your heart"

"My heart is hard
Like rock and metal
He'll never break it
Or leave me scarred"

He shook his head
And let out a sigh
"I don't want you
to come home crying"

"Daddy I'm strong
Like brick and stones
He will not hurt me
I'd break his bones

I will be back home
Before you know it
Whether I'm smiling or not
Please don't worry

I love you more
Than pancakes and chocolate
I will come home
Not bruised or broken

And give you a hug
Because you're the man
The one and only
Allowed in my heart."
