Daughters

John Mayer - Daughters

I know a girl

She puts the color inside of my world

She's just like a maze

Where all of the walls all continually change

I've done all I can

To stand on the steps with my heart in my hand

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

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

Find out how much they can take

Boys will be strong and boys soldier on

But boys would be gone

without warmth of a woman's good, good heart

On behalf of every man, looking out for every girl

You are the god and the weight of the 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

So mothers be good to your daughters too

So mothers be good to your daughters too
