I'M NOT ONE

the big kids used to push me in the schoolyard
they'd steal my lunch before i took a bite
at seven my long hair attracted bullies
so daddy said he'd teach me how to fight
cause inside every boy is the beginnings of a man
learning when to walk away and when to take a stand

   i'm not one, to cut and run
   when things are gettin' tough
   people say, the judgement day
   will be here soon enough
   mostly we can pick and choose
   when we need to fight
   there are some you're gonna lose
   even when you're right
   some folks look for trouble like it's fun
   i'm not one.

we'll be married seven years, october
there are times when we both cross that line
i've punched a couple walls, she broke some dishes
leavin' her has even crossed my mind
'cause inside every grown-up man there's still a little child
ya gotta put him in his place, once in every while

   i'm not one....

some folks reach a time when they'll regret the things they've done
but i'm not one.
