Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[PreChorus]

And I've done all I can

To stand on her steps with my heart in my hand

Now I'm starting to see

Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Bridge]

On behalf of every man

Looking out for every girl

You are the God and the weight of her world

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

So mothers be good to your daughters too

So mothers be good to your daughters too
