1. 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

2. 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

R: Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mot hers be good to your daughters too


3. 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

R: Fathers be good...

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

R: (instrumental)

On behalf of every man
looking out for every girl -
You are the
god and the weight of her world

R: Fathers be good...
