Under the lyrical microscope today: "Daughters" by John Mayer.
To celebrate Father's Day, let's take a look at John Mayer's slightly creepy advice on child-rearing.
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.
Yes, just what every father wants to hear. An annoying guy telling him to treat his daughter well because eventually she'll become someone's lover.
Oh you see that skin
its the same shes been standing in
since the day you two met
i bet i was on your mind
never ever any time
It's quite astute of Mr. Mayer to realize that his girlfriend's father wasn't exactly spending all of his quality time with his daughter trying to make sure she is the perfect girlfriend in a couple of decades. Unfortunately, he doesn't realize that this wasn't a simple oversight.
On behalf of every man
who's looking out for every girl
you are the god and you are 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
There you have it. For all you father's out there, on this Father's Day, remember the important part of your job...making sure that your daughter grows up to be an appropriate companion for John Mayer...Oh, that's just wrong.
Until later...

The worst part is that I think that may be the best song he's ever written. That guy gives me the creeps. He's got date rapist eyes.
Always glad to see he gives other people the creeps. People seemed to think that songs like "Your Body Is a Wonderland" were sweet and romantic. I challenge anyone to listen to/read the lyrics to that song and not be creeped out. I can't imagine anyone saying those things in any situation in real life that doesn't end with pepper spray or at least a slap.
Thank GODS I'm not the only one who thinks he's the creepiest thing since Paul Bernardo....ew ew
and that song in PARTICULAR has ALWAYS driven me nuts
