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
  You can kill yourself or 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 too hard to find
  I still live in the same old place
  I still got the same old face
  I can give you more than twenty minutes of my time
  
  Chorus 1
  
  Chorus 2
