I can still recall a time you were not so far behind   You were only 15 and you still had piece of mind   Now you're pushing 31, duty call you come and run   When will this be over? When, when will you be gone?      Chorus 1:   I'll be your man child to be tough   Once is never quite enough   Giving twenty minutes in between      If you know what I mean      You gotta give if you wanna get   Never let 'em see you sweat   You may cry and you may bleed   But only if the punch is from me      Chorus 2:   Why do you back down in the face of a fist fight?   I kick myself for caring about you   You may one day go the distance   You might come around   If you be yourself, well you can make your mama proud      When you get the energy   You can place a call to me   My number's in the phone book   And I'm not that hard to find   I still live in the same old place   I still have the same old face   I can give you more than twenty minutes of my time      Chorus 1      Chorus 2
