My mother told me, she said Andy
You will be a man soon, so understand me
Most of this world sees women like candy
You will be a man who will be standing for me

My sisters, my daughters and wives
Girls learning how to shine their light
Dedicate some of your life,
Stand for them all, singing out me (x2)

Ladies you are beautiful, you are beautiful
You don't even have to try
Ladies you are beautiful, you are beautiful
More than you could realize

My mother told me she said Andy
I know this all may seem demanding
But I'll be leaving and will be handing, all of my love to you
You will be standing for me

My sisters, my daughters and wives
Girls learning how to shine their light
Dedicate some of your life,
Stand for them all, singing out me

Ladies you are beautiful, you are beautiful
You don't even have to try
Ladies you are beautiful, you are beautiful
More than you could realize

I'm not sure if I'm the best one to carry this torch
I'm a mess and my nose is sore
Falling on my face trying to break the norm, but I still conform

And I know you see mistakes I make
And wait patiently for me to replace them
And I can't quite seem to be the perfect man
That you needed me to be, I need to believe that

I will be standing here
I got my sword I got my shield
And you keep ringing in my ear

My sisters, my daughters and wives
Girls learning how to shine their light
Dedicate some of your life,
Stand from the all, singing out

Ladies you are beautiful, you are beautiful
You don't even have to try
Ladies you are beautiful, you are beautiful
More than you could realize (x2)
