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
 Make you ribbons from a paper bag

 Chorus:
 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 & 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

 (chorus)

 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

 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

 (chorus
