the unknown artist - Josephine Lyrics

Yes, I give you my money
You call me honey
And I pay attention to what you've gotta say

You say I'm sorry that I talk so much
I say please don't you stop
I wanna hear every word you say

Not sure if you like my story greatly
I had a bit of bad luck lately
I really know of better times
The rain will stop and sun may shine one day

I'm Josephine I turned 18
When I became a mother of a lovely boy
He is cute and he is fine, he is a devil late at night

But that's alright

The first three years flew by
We were so happy then
My boyfriend, the little boy and I

But then one day, oh dear
We were waiting for daddy to come home
Well he did, but he was not alone
He had lipstick on his cheek

Josephine took morphine to forget all the pain
She got more than she can take, she can still feel her heart break

Waking up in a hospital bed, staring in the eyes of mum and dad
Oh my little girl, what have you done to you

They took the boy
Away she went
For the money that pays the rent
Trying to earn more than you spend
For a living in a town like this

Far away from home

And then you hold me tight
Saying hush now darling
Everything will be alright

I couldn't help it
I couldn't help it
I believed you.
