daughters by john mayer

yeah, i know, another song... but this one never ceases to perplex and *inspire* me, so to speak...

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 the warmth from / A womans 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 :)
