Lyrics

Seven pounds, three ounces with a full head of dark brown hair
Their first, a girl, they brought her home today
Her mama's a natural, seems to know just what to do
But her Daddy been feeling out of place
When she says, "Honey, can you take her? I think her diaper's wet"
He's thinking to himself, "I'm not ready for this yet"

But the moment he picks her up, a damn breaks and he feels a flood
Of pure unconditional love pouring out of him
You can almost see it sinking in -- how her every need depends on him
He'll never be the same again, and that's when you understand
That's not just a man changing a baby
That's a baby changing a man

He'd been wondering how it'd be when the baby came
Cause he'd never really spent much time around kids
Would he know how to hold her? Would he even feel a thing?
Would he cut and run the way his daddy did?
But now he's wrapped up completely in this tiny bundle of joy
You'd never know he'd been hoping for a boy

'Cause the moment he picked her up, a damn broke and he felt a flood
Of pure unconditional love pouring out of him
You could almost see it sinking in -- how her every need depends on him
He'll never be the same again, and that's when you understand
That's not just a man changing a baby
That's a baby changing a man

That ain't just a baby girl
No, no -- that's his whole world

'Cause the moment he picked her up, a damn broke and he felt a flood
Of pure unconditional love pouring out of him
You could almost see it sinking in -- how her every need depends on him
He'll never be the same again, and that's when you understand
That's not just a man changing a baby
That's a baby changing a man
