Daughters

Words: John Mayer

I know a girl
she puts the color inside of my world.
But she`s just like a maze
where all of the walls all continually change.
And I´ve done all I can
to stand on her steps with my heart in my hands.
Now I`m starting to see
maybe it`s got nothing to do with me.

Fathers, be good to your daughters.
Daughters will love like you do.
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers.
So mothers, be good to your daughters too.

Oh, you see that skin ?
It`s the same she`s been standing in.
Since the day she saw him walking away.
Now she`s left
cleaning up the mess he made.

So fathers, be good to your daughters.
Daughters will love like you do.
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers.
So mothers, be good to your daughters too.

Boys, you can break.
You`ll find out how much they can take.
Boys will be strong.
And boys soldier on.
But boys would be gone without warmth from
a woman`s good, good heart.

On behalf of every man.
Looking out for every girl.
You are the God and the weight of her world.

So fathers, be good to your daughters.
Daughters will love like you do.
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers.
So mothers, be good to your daughters too.
