Mayer percebeu o impacto que os pais podem ter na capacidade de suas filhas amarem e serem amadas, o que é o foco principal da letra.

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
I've done all I can
To stand on the steps with my heart in my hands
Now I started 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 walkin' 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
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


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
