It's Not The Thing Henry

You're asking the wrong question

To the wrong person

And it's hurting you to listen

I wanna be truthful

But you gotta be certain

This is what you mean

Ah Henry, would you look at me

You cannot have it all and

I will not make it easy

Henry, I'm not grateful for small mercies

No matter how light the purse is

All the things you need don't mean a thing to me

It's not the air

I breathe, it's not the thing,

HenryAm I taking the wrong meaning in concluding

That the error is of your choosing

You've got to be simple

If you think that you're moving

More than the ire in me

Ah Henry, would you look at me

You cannot have it all and

I will not make it easy

Henry, I'm not grateful for small mercies

No matter how light the purse is

All the things you need don't mean a thing to me

It's not the air

I breathe, it's not the thing,

HenryAll the things you need don't mean a thing to me

It's not the air

I breathe, it's not the thing,

Henry
