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 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 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
