Alison Moyet – Its Not The Thing Henry Lyrics

Read Time:1 Minute, 14 Second

Youre asking the wrong question
To the wrong person
And its 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, Im not grateful for small mercies
No matter how light the purse is
All the things you need dont mean a thing to me
Its not the air I breathe
Its not the thing Henry

Am I taking the wrong meaning
In concluding
That the error is of your choosing?
Youve got to be simple
If you think that youre 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, Im not grateful for small mercies
No matter how light the purse is
All the things you need dont mean a thing to me
Its not the air I breathe
Its not the thing Henry

All the things you need dont mean a thing to me
Its not the air I breathe
Its not the thing Henry

Henry, would you look at me
You cannot have it all and I will not make it easy
Henry, Im not grateful for small mercies
No matter how light the purse is
Henry,lla,la,la,la,la,Henry
All the things you need dont mean a thing to me,lla,la,la,la,la…
