Song lyrics

Send "Daughters" ringtones to your cell

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
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

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 warmth from 
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

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal "On behalf of every man Looking out for every girl You are the god and the weight of her world" [b]mmk John Mayer is not my idea of music, but I'm not here to bash on him, I was just wondering if anyone else read those lines and thought the same thing I did... there is not a single girl in this world that looks at a guy as if he is god or her world! So any guys that do believe that need to rethink it because no matter how in love a girl is with a guy..... she CAN do without, so therefore... no guy is good enough to be thought of as the god and weight of a girls world. true? yep.. i believe so. these lyrics definitly pissed me off..
