The Proclaimers - Ten Tiny Fingers lyrics

Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes I thought I knew about love But I didn't know No no, I didn't know My newborn daughter Lay in my arms And I was a fool for all her charms But no no no, I didn't know I was a patsy, I was a dupe I couldn't think My brains had turned to soup I couldn't speak, but my heart Began to whoop It's the age-old story Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes Let you know that, you don't know No no, you don't know Now I've been a father For twenty one years And any time I thought I could hold love It disappeared, it disappeared And while I'm thinking How far I've come I find I'm back where I started Oh no, I didn't know Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes Your daddy's ears and your mummy's nose That's as far as my knowledge goes What I see before me are Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes Let you know that you don't know No no, you don't know
