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 changed
and I've done all I can to stand on the steps
with my heart in my hand
now I'm startin' 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 standin' in
since the day she saw him walkin' away
now she's left cleanin' up the mess he made

so

boys you can break
you find out how much they can take
boys will be strong, boys soldier on
but boys would be gone without warmth
from a woman's good, good heart

on behalf of every man, lookin' out for every girl
you are the guide and the weight of her world

so mothers be good to your daughters too
so mothers be good to your daughters too

- John Mayer "Daughters"
