Ten Tiny Fingers Songtext
von The Proclaimers

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
You don't know

Now I′ve been a father
For 21 years
And any time I thought
I could hold love
It disappeared, oh, it disappeared

And while I'm thinking
How far I′ve come
I find I'm back where I started from
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 and ten tiny toes
They let you know that you don′t know
You don't know
Hmm, you don′t know
