Lyrics

I'D HAVE GIVEN MY SOUL WHEN I WAS SMALL, IF MY DAD HAD BEEN SIX FEET TALL; 'CAUSE IF HE'D BEEN THAT TALL YOU SEE, HE MIGHT HAVE PASSED IT ON TO ME. WHEN YOU'RE THE SHORTEST ONE AROUND, IT'S REALLY HARD TO LIVE IT DOWN' LIFE CAN SURE BE FULL OF KNOCKS, WHEN YOU'RE THE SHORT KID ON THE BLOCK. SHORTY, PINT SIZE, PIPSQUEEK, SQUIRT, THOUGH SAID IN FUN DEEP DOWN THEY HURT; WHISPERED WORDS "THERE GOES THE RUNT", YOU'RE TURN AT BAT THEY MAKE YOU BUNT. YOU LAUGH IT OFF AND THEN YOU SMILE, BUT TEARS TAKE OVER AFTER WHILE; YOU TRY SO HARD TO BE A SPORT, WHY DO YOU ALWAYS COME UP SHORT.(CHORUS) AND SO TO SHROT KIDS EVERYWHERE, DRY YOUR EYES AND DON'T DISPARE; I KNOW WHAT YOU'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH, 'CAUSE I WAS SMALL ONCE-JUST LIKE YOU, THE YEARS HAVE TAUGHT ONE THING TO ME, WHO I AM'S NOT WHAT THEY SEE; YOU NEEDN'T BE AN ALSO-RAN, FOR SIZE IS NOT THE MEASURE OF A MAN. (V.2) CHILDREN CAN BE VERY CRUEL, WHILE IN THEIR EYES THEY'RE BEING COOL; THEY'D ACT DIFFERENT I'VE NO DOUBT, IF IT WAS THEM THAT GOT LEFT OUT. YOU SASY IT DOESN'T MATTER NONE, PRETENDING YOU'RE STILL HAVING FUN; BUY THINKING THAT IT'S SO UNFAIR, LIKE KIDS ON SIDELINES EVERYWHERE. I'VE ADJUSTED PRETTY WELL, I'M STILL NOT TALL BUT I CAN TELL YOU, THAT I'VE COME TO REALIZE, YOU CAN'T JUDGE MEN BY THEIR SIZE. IN TIME YOU'LL FIND THAT EACH OF YOU, HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL YOU CAN DO, WHEN YOU FIND THAT WHICH YOU EXCELL, YOU'LL KNOW THE SCALES HAVE BALANCED WELL. (CHO) TAG: I SEE THEM NOW THOSE SUPER STAARS, THAT DRINK EACH NIGHT IN LOCAL BARS; WITH BELLIES FAT THAT ONCE WERE LEAN, THEY AREN'T AS BIG AS THEY ONCE SEEMED. AND TO YOU KIDS THAT GREW UP TALL, WHOSE HEADS ARE BIG AND HEARTS ARE SMALL; I DON'T BELIEVE YOU REALIZE, THAT WHEN YOU JUDGE MAN BY THEIR SIZE----PERHAPS IT'S YOU THAT DIDN'T GROW UP AFTER ALL.
