Lyrics
Jenny
(Mingori, Santone, Jackson)
Jenny heard the news today
It had nothing good to say
About the world
But Jenny?s optimistic still
In spite of what she?s heard
She don?t understand
Why people leave their kids alone
She don?t understand
Why they don?t have a happy home
She don?t understand
Why people just don?t care
Oh she don?t understand
Oh she don?t understand
Jenny still can see the beauty in the world
Through her eyes
While right outside her window
Is another world
Full of lies
She don?t understand
The things that people justify
She don?t understand
A world that?s so unkind
She don?t understand
Why people just don?t care
Ohhh she don?t understand
Ohhh she don?t understand
She don?t understand
A world that?s gone so wrong
She don?t understand
Why we just all can?t get along
She don?t understand
Why people just don?t care
Oh she don?t understand
Oh she don?t understand
Jenny heard the news today
It had nothing good to say
About the world
