lyrics

Jenny Doesn’t Mind
Jenny she’s always smiling, nothing seems to get her down
The others, she says, are wearing theirs upside down
Jenny doesn’t seem to mind them, she doesn’t join in their games
Jenny doesn’t seem to understand she is not the same

Jenny is kind of awkward, she doesn’t know what to say
Likely she’s going to play on her own today

It seems so cruel to wake her when she’s so far away
What do we say when she asks, ‘Why am I this way?’
“Daddy, she says, “please tell me when will I be like them?
I never want to feel this way again.”

Jenny Jenny don’t mind them, Jenny Jenny don’t cry

Paul: Jenny is autistic, but you may chose to interpret this lyric in another way.
As the father of a child with Asperger Syndrome I found this particularly painful to write, but necessary.
