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
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 disconnected my heart
And cut myself on the wires
Josephine
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.
