[Lyrics]
(1), (Solo 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
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
(2) 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
(1, play percussively), (Solo 2)
(1) 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
(2) 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
(3) Boys, you can break
You find out how much they can take
(4) Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A woman's good, good heart
(2) On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the God and the weight of her world
(2) 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
