Melodic Monday: Henry doesn't care
"Henry Doesn't Care"
By Ashley Cleveland
Album: Bus Named Desire
Label: Reunion
Year: 1993
Track number: 4
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

Back story: Henry is Ashley's son--I think he was 2ish when she wrote the song. One of the sad things about Henry starting school is he's beginning to meet more of the things he didn't used to care about, like what others think of him...so it's a new parenting phase, how to help him know what he knows and be a light to others without being influenced by them.negatively by
