Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes
I thought I knew about love
But I didnt know
No, no, I didnt know
My newborn daughter
Lay in my arms
And I was a fool for all her charms
But no, no, no, I didnt know
I was a patsy, I was a dupe
I couldnt think
My brains had turned to soup
I couldnt speak, but my heart
Began to whoop
Its the age-old story
Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes
Let you know that, you dont know
You dont know
Now Ive been a father
For 21 years
And any time I thought
I could hold love
It disappeared, oh, it disappeared
And while Im thinking
How far Ive come
I find Im back where I started from
I didnt know
Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes
Your daddys ears and your mummys nose
Thats as far as my knowledge goes
What I see before me are
Ten tiny fingers and ten tiny toes
They let you know that you dont know
You dont know
Hmm, you dont know
