John Mayer – Daughters Lyric

aus dem Album Heavier Things

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls are continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on the steps with my heart in my hand
Now I started 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
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 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
So mothers be good to your daughters too
So mothers be good to your daughters too
