My mother told me
She said: "Andy, you'll be a man soon,
So understand me
Most of this world sees
Women like candy.
You'll be a man who
Will be standing for me.

My sisters, my daughters and wives
Girls who are learning how to shine their light
Dedicate some of your life
Stand for them all
Sing it now, me
My sisters, my daughters, and wives
Girls who are learning how to shine their light
Dedicate some of your life
You will stand for them all

Sing it now
Ladies
You are beautiful, you are beautiful
You don't even have to try
Oh 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 we'll be handing
All of my love to you
You will be standing for me"

My sisters, my daughters and wives
Girls who are learning how to shine their light
Dedicate some of your lives
Stand for them all

Sing it now
Ladies
You are beautiful, you are beautiful
You don't even have to try
Oh 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
The 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 you to believe that

I'll be standing here
Got my sword, I got my shield
And you keep ringing in my ear
Oh lord
Talking 'bout me

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

Sing it now, ladies
You are beautiful, you are beautiful
You don't even have to try
Oh ladies
You are beautiful, you are beautiful
More than you could realize

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