Henry was all grown up, found himself the best of luck, found his baby doll he called
Nicole
She'd stay curled up inside the house, never cared for going out
Henry would walk the streets alone
Well he'd wander around the neighborhood, never leave even if he could
Though times he'd get fired up inside
He'd act as wild as a thunderstorm
And he'd yell at a man in a uniform just for walking by
Well Nicky's warned about loving a boxer, every once in a while he knocks her down
She ain't surprised, she just tries to keep to herself and if he starts to holler and yell
The neighbors hear everything she cries
And she'll cry, Henry, get off of me, you overgrown child
He'll jump on top of her, his eyes racing wild and she'll say
Won't you leave me alone I'm too old to fight
I got no other and you know I love you so, let me rest tonight
Ooh, Henry, be gentle with an old girl like me
Ooh, ooh, ooh
She knew he'd rather kiss her than fight her, she'd hear that voice inside her say
He's a dog, but he belongs to me
Oh, Henry would just sit and stare, Nicky'd wonder what it was like in there
Chained to a life but feeling free
Cause his little space was enough for him, each day would come and go again
He didn't care about what he didn't know
But Nicky thought about other things, about places she'd seen in dreams
But dreaming's the furthest she would go
Cause nothing far away from home could ever give her what she'd known
She loved her stitched together family
And if things would fall apart, they'd all meet at the start and find some kind of harmony
Then she'd yell, Henry, get off of me, you overgrown child
He'd jump on top of her, his eyes racing wild and she'll say
Won't you leave me alone I'm too old to fight
I got no other and you know I love you so, let me rest tonight
Ooh, Henry, be gentle with an old girl like me
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
