Lyrics

Intro
=====

Verse 1
=======

I   know a girl she puts the colour inside my world
Shes just like a maze where all of the walls are continually changed
i’ve done all i can to stand on the steps with my heart in my hands
Now im starting to see maybe its got nothing to do with me

Chorus
======
Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers and turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too.

Interlude
=========
Oh you see that skin
It's the same shes been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away now she's
left cleaning up the mess he made

Chorus
======
Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers and turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too.

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

outro
=====
on behalf of every man looking out for every girl
you are the god and the weight of her world
on behalf of every man 
who's looking out for every girl
you are the god and you are the weight of her world


chorus
======
Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers and 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
so mothers be good to your daughters too
