Boy, I'll teach you how to hunt
How to take a hit when you wanna run
I'll teach you how to drink a beer, drive a stick
Throw a fastball and catch a fish
I'll teach you how to be tough

But when she walks in, she'll mess you up

She'll make you wanna learn to dance and go clean out your truck

You're gonna think you're strong enough

But when she looks you in the eyes and tells you she's in love

Well good luck being tough



When it gets late, drive her home

You'll wanna stay the night, but it's better if you don't

And, boy, you're gonna have your first fight

And you won't sleep at all

She'll stay at her best friend's

And won't pick up your calls



But when she walks in, she'll mess you up

Boy, say you're sorry first 'cause that's what a real man does

You're gonna think you're strong enough

But when you almost lose the woman that you love

Oh, good luck being tough

Yeah, good luck being tough



When she walks in, and they say all rise

And she's standing with her daddy in all white

You're gonna think you're strong enough

But hold your breath, boy, cause here she comes

Good luck being tough

Good luck being tough
