Here’s to hoping second time's a charm
'Cause if it’s not
Chances are you’ll feel a little dumb
'Cause everybody told you so
But how could anybody know
This mistake is yours to make
Yours and yours alone

So look close (look close)
And if his sleeves hang past his fingers
Come home (come home)
If his shoes keep slipping off
He don’t know what he’s got
And with you he’s got a lot
But little boys break hearts
Little boys break hearts

Cleans up nice when he gets all dressed up
Reads the news on paper like his father does
What he means and what he means to say
Mean different things on different days
It is until it’s not
And suddenly his mind will change

So look close (look close)
And if his sleeves hang past his fingers
Come home (come home)
If his shoes keep slipping off
He don’t know what he’s got
And with you he’s got a lot
But little boys break hearts
Little boys break hearts

You better run, run, far
'Cause it ain’t freeze tag in the school yard
You better hide, hide, hide
When you see the warning signs

So look close
And if his sleeves hang past his fingers
Come home
If his shoes keep slipping off
He don’t know what he’s got
Yeah, with you he’s got a lot
But little boys break hearts
Little boys break hearts

Little boys break hearts
Little boys break hearts
Little boys break hearts
