Daughters Lyrics Artist(Band):John Mayer
She puts the color inside of my world but she's just like a maze Where all of the walls all continually changed And I've done all I can To stand on her steps with my heart in my hand Now I'm starting to see Maybe it's got nothing to do with me Fathers, be good to your daughters Daughters will live like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers, be good to your daughters too Ooh, 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 live 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.

Review about Daughters AMAZING Insight | Reviewer: lolo | 7/10/2008 It Amazes me that a man not formally trained in psychology/psychotherapy/human relations, could slice right through - like a laser beam - to the truth of the situation he and his girlfriend were in. A girl's relationship with her father, and the effect he's had on her throughout her formative years, is a CRUCIAL factor in her development. A girl/woman will Forever be effected by her childhood experiences with her Dad. If he "abandoned" her, or consistently treated her badly in any way, chances are that she will (unconsciously or otherwise) be attracted to, and will tend to attract, boys/men who end up treating her much as her father did. Once she's in this scenario, she will inevitably try her best to make her same, old familiar story turn out with a HAPPY Ending this time, with her new "substitute Daddy". Her efforts are usually in vain, as every time, her(new,current)story ends badly. Thus, she is Re-traumatized. In many cases she will "dance [this] dance" over and over, ever hopeful that it will end in success, "This time". This story strikes Deep in the heart of the female psyche. It is far too common, and Waaayyyy too familiar to me, personally. This is my theme song | Reviewer: Skye | 7/10/2008 this is so true. My father left left when i was 5. I like this boy but I'm afraid of getting hurt. And doesn't understand why i won't be with him. This song makes me cry. God my father is a dead beat. Stuff we have known for millions of years-be good to your children! | Reviewer: Jade | 7/7/2008 The message: Just be a good papa =). You can f*ck up kids and create emotional problems, problems that grow later with you in life. This song was not meant to be sexist. Father/daughter relationships are crucial in emotional development, just as mother/son relationships and abandoning or abusing your kid can leave some serious emotioanal scars (Trust me-I know this. I fall into the "abandonment" category), and obviously, the girl in this video was hurt much earlier in life. This song me cry so hard | Reviewer: L. | 7/1/2008 It's so true. My dad left when I was 14 and I have had problems my whole life with love and relationships. In the song, the guy fell in love with a girl like me and it just couldn't work b/c she was so screwed up. I'm 40 now and my dad and I have only a "surface" relationship...where at one time I was such a "daddy's girl" as a little girl. Now my younger half-sister is his whole focus and world. It really stinks. Otto | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/6/2008 Somewhere else in these reviews there is someone who refers to Borderline Personality Disorder ... I got out of a relationship with a Borderline woman. She was everything to me ... as in the song, "she was was my world". Her disorder left her a shattered and broken soul. I actually cried everyday for her, and for the love she couldn't see me give her. I eventually had to see a psychologist over the pain I felt, and the first assessment out of his mouth was "it’s got nothing to do with you" ... as though he had heard the song, but our meeting predated the song. I listened to the song a few times, but I can't anymore. The memories of the pain and sorrow I felt are too deep. Borderline is a terrible condition, and is more common than bipolar disorder and schizophrenia combined. Borderline probably account for 85% of all 'crazy girlfriend' experiences, much drug addiction, alcoholism, and vicious divorces. These people are not jerks, they are deeply ill and the destroy lives, their own and those who touch them. Love them, but only from afar ... and for god's sake, fathers and mothers, be good to your daughters ... please. June 5, 2008 makes me ache | Reviewer: aunt | 4/20/2008 all i see is my niece's face when i hear this beautiful song. Her father left her and her mother for another woman, after years of excessive adultry and drinking. Now she is cleaning up the mess he made. i love my niece and i can only hope she doesn't "love like he does." wut i think | Reviewer: unknown | 3/31/2008 its about a guy (John Mayer) who becomes infatuated with a girl and then goes on to try to win her heart. he tries his best but still gets rejected. "And I've done all I can To stand on her steps with my heart in my hand Now I'm starting to see Maybe it’s got nothing to do with me" He tries telling her how much he likes her, maybe even tries making her to open up to him. But no matter how hard he tries, she keeps her doors closed. He wonders why. Then he realizes its got nothing to do with him. The problem is within her. She does not know how to open up, or maybe too scared to love/take risks. And because the next words say "Fathers be good to your daughters", i think its because something traumatic happened to her involving her dad. Perhaps he left her for another woman, like when he sings "Since the day she saw him walking away Now she's left cleaning up the mess he made" it draws a picture of a dad leaving his family with another woman. And now that everyones hurt, the daughter is left alone fending for herself or is left mending their broken family. This is true with girls who do not have a father figure. Because men, represented by their dads, did not treat them well, they become cautious, overprotective and distant from men in general. They tend to believe that all men are like their dads. When John Mayer says "On behalf of every man looking out for every girl You are the god and the weight of her world" its true that every dad becomes the "god" of that girl. As much as it is gratification to the dad, it is also a responsibility, which some dads disregards. Daughters - Borderline Personality | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/20/2008 I think this is about a relationship that is ending because the girl suffers from Borderline Personality disorder brought upon by a father's abandonment and possible mother issues as well. The invalidating environment growing combined with biological factors create an emotional stability described in the beginning of the song and that many people with Borderline Personality disorder experience. The fear of real or imagined abandoment combined with emotional instability.... Just my two cents... I just got out of a relationship like that and have done a lot of research...
