Lirik Terjemahan
I wanna stare your body down
I wanna make some big mistake
And it feels like you're always around
Every time I get this way
Oh, you know I want you
Oh, but I don't wanna love you
No, not tonight Josephine
I wanna lay down
I don't wanna talk now
'Cause we ain't just friends
And it takes all I have
Just to feel this bad
So don't be mean, Josephine
I'm used to being good at doing wrong
I'm the host of the losers parade
I'm the king of a thousand regrets
And I swear I've always been this way
Oh, you know I want you
Oh, but I'll never love you
No, not tonight Josephine
I wanna lay down
I don't wanna talk now
'Cause we ain't just friends
And it takes all I have
Just to feel this bad
So don't be mean, Josephine
Tell me what I can say to you
So I don't sleep here alone
No, Josephine, I'm not in love with you
No, not tonight Josephine
I wanna lay down
I don't wanna talk now
'Cause we ain't just friends
And it takes all I have
Just to feel this bad
So don't be mean, Josephine
It takes all I have
It takes all I have
It takes all I have
It takes all I have
It takes all I have
It takes all I have
So don't be mean, Josephine
