I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
But she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
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

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 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
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'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans 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 [x3]

The lyrics to this song are so simple but true...
girls ideals of love are wrapped around the relationship they have with their fathers..
a woman seeks a love comparable to the love to love they received in their adolescence...can it be that was the time we felt most secure..safe and loved.. But what of the Lil girls who grow up with out father's or loveless homes? Are they more apt to not find love and troll this earth bitter and loveless? I'm a testimony to not having a structures male prototype to shape my ideal of relationship but thru those i connected with in my youth i had positive role models...Models that showed me that love can be partnered and awesome if done right... But as i get older i think about those ideals and how realistic they are...i mean is it too much to wanna be married before u conceive a child? I have associates who are like marriages don't work..then what u finna do? i do realize they are giving me another prospective on something but i feel they are settling...being just baby mama's because their biological clock is pimpin them...*sigh*
