Josephine

The Wallflowers

I feel pretty good

I feel all right

And I've been thinkin' maybe

I could spend the night

I know you've been sad

I know I've been bad

But if you'd let me

I'd make you ribbons from a paper bag

Josephine, you're so good to me

And I know it ain't easy

Josephine, you're so sweet

You must taste just like sugar and tangerines

I won't make a sound

Sleep on the ground

When you wake I will

Drive you into town

I missed your smile

Your schoolgirl style

But I never had much fun

And maybe the very first mile

Josephine, you're so good to me

And I know it ain't easy

Josephine, you're so sweet

You must taste just like sugar and tangerines

Don't you know, I watched you

Walkin' home from school?

Your friends on the old playgrounds

You never looked so down

Won't you come and help me

With these cuts of mine?

I've disconnected my heart

And cut myself on the wires, Josephine

And I know I was wrong

I knew all along

But I got so far from my home

I never thought I'd be so lonesome

Josephine, you're so good to me

And I know it ain't easy

Josephine, you're so sweet

You must taste just like sugar and tangerines
