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

53 posts	You guys have no idea how much I love this song!!! It's my favorite John Mayer song of all time. When I went to his concert in ATX and had front row center tickets, I almost melted when he sang this song, and, I know it's cheesy, but I swear he looked right at me. That was like the best day of my life!!!!! lol

1,966 posts	This is THE song i am dacing to with my dad on my wedding... not trying to be mean, but I don't think this is a father-daughter dance kind of song....unless your dad walked out on you and your family, and you are permanently hurt by this and have a hard time trusting guys now; considering that is the message of the song... but anyways, I love this song...it's amazing how much insight into people and the world John has, considering he is still in his 20's! His lyrics are so profound and well written, and his voice just conplements them so well! hope I actually get to see him live some day!

27 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I might be wrong, but it seems John Mayer songs all sound alike.....
04-12-2004 23:20 Rikai
482 posts	Argh...thanks for bringing down the rate, Marc.. His voice just is the same, duh. Do you expect it to be different? His songs have that same...warm background. But that doesn't make his songs sound "alike". .::This conversation has been closed::. Rikai Katsumi
