Josephine

There was a time when I was your boyfriend
I didn't listen, listen when you said
Would you love me (love me)
Love me a little more?
Fresh out of High School
I thought I was so cool
I should've adored you, instead I ignored you
And you said love me (love me)
Love me a little more
Now I don't know what to say
'Cause I let you slip away
Josephine, I just wanna feel you close to me
Can't you see you made a ghost of me?
(Oh oh oh)
Josephine, wish I had a time machine
To take it back to how we used to be
(Oh oh oh oh)
Jo-oh-oh-oh Josephine
Jo-oh-oh-oh Josephine
Yeah I was a misfit
Just trying to get kicks
But all that you wanted, baby
Was someone to dance with
Now you don't love me (love me)
Love me like you did before
Now I don't know what to say
'Cause I let you slip away
Josephine, I just wanna feel you close to me
Can't you see you made a ghost of me?
(Oh oh oh)
Josephine, wish I had a time machine
To take it back to how we used to be
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Jo-oh-oh-oh Josephine
Jo-oh-oh-oh Josephine
Josie, don't say there's not a chance for me
Girl, my heart breaks when I see you cry
(You cry, you cry)
Josie, won't you save the last dance for me?
(The last dance for me)
Take my hand, take my soul, take my life
Josephine, I just wanna feel you close to me
Can't you see you made a ghost of me?
(Oh oh oh)
Josephine, wish I had a time machine
To take it back to how we used to be
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Jo-oh-oh-oh Josephine
Jo-oh-oh-oh Josephine
Jo-oh-oh-oh Josephine
Jo-oh-oh-oh Josephine
