I heard this song today by John Mayer and tho it's a typical mushy tune...it irritated me too...a man being the weight of a womens world??? hmmmmm.....
Maybe I'm just cranky today.....
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 hand,
But I'm starting to think
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me.
Fathers be good to your daughters;
Daughters will love like you do, yeah.
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 you two met.
I bet I was on your mind
Never never anytime.
Fathers be good to your daughters;
Daughters will love like you do, yeah.
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.
On behalf of every man whose looking out for every girl,
You are the god, and the weight of her world.
Fathers be good to your daughters,
Daughters will love like you do, yeah.

Re: song I heard....
Wed, January 26, 2005 - 2:01 PMI'm sorry you are filled with so much hate....
I look at it this way:
John Mayer likes this girl,
He attempted to interact with her in a 'relationship',
Things didn't work out well,
He realized it had very little to do with him, personally,
As she was 'damaged' by her father-figure,
He writes a song to try & point out that this damage goes farther than childhood,
And 'damages' us all on some level.
Yeah, he a 'milktoast' kinda guy... & his song is boring...
but I don't see any *hate*..... -
