Baby's got a good laugh on me
He don't have to wrestle with his history
He don't have to worry 'bout thinking too much
Only pressure he feels is the human touch

Foolish things drive me to despair
Henry doesn't care
Henry doesn't...

Baby don't know about false pretense
He never met a soul that he had to convince
He don't hide his anger in a few cheap shots
Or act like he's happy when he knows that he's not

Foolish things drive me to despair
Henry doesn't care
Henry doesn't care

Baby's gonna feel the thumb of powerful men
And learn firsthand about original sin
Got to take his knocks like everyone else
But I hate to see him learn to protect himself

Fearful things drive me to despair
Henry doesn't care
Henry doesn't care
