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
