Hey Josephine, I loved you since the day you rolled inside me
Hey Josephine, I hope you have the heart...
Well I do not have a picture
I've never heard your voice
In 1963 I did not have a choice
Well I was only sixteen
But I loved the boy
He had a future which a baby could not destroy
Hey Josephine, I loved you since the day you rolled inside me
Hey Josephine, I hope you have the heart to forgive me
Well ask me all your questions
I will tell no lies
I don't expect you'll under stand or sympathize
But where I was that moment
Was not a good place to be
I could not protect my self, nevermind a baby
Hey Josephine, I loved you since the day you rolled inside me
Hey Josephine, I hope you have the heart...
...to forgive me
I hope you have the heart to forgive me
Hey Josephine, I loved you since the day that you rolled inside me
Hey Josephine, I hope you have the heart...
Well I do not have a picture
I've never heard your voice
In 1963 I did not have a choice
