I know a guy   He puts the color inside of my sky   But he'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 starting to see   Maybe it's got nothing to do with me      So, fathers, be good to your daughters   And daughters will love like you do   Girls become lovers who turn into mothers   So, mothers, be good to your daughters, too      Boy, 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   And 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 find out how much they can take   But boys will be strong   And boys don't do wrong   But boys would be gone without warmth for   A woman's heart, yeah, yeah      'Cause 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   And 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
