Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well ladies
Original Josephine, my baby
I say I'm the king, I want to make you the queen
Long time I want to let you in because you're so distant
And clean, you see what I mean?
[Verse 2]
Oh-whoa-oh-oh, yeah
Guess you ain't, so be that
Oh-oh, you mean?
All night
Talk 'bout
[Verse 3]
Hello, Josephine (See)
How do you do? (Wan' touch)
Do you remember me, my baby
Like I remember you? (You must've worn glasses)
You used to laugh at me (See, I've changed)
And holler, woo-woo-woo (My tip)
[Verse 4]
Hello, baby, over here is near and over there is far
Come on over, baby, and get you closer to the bar
She's wiggling and she's jiggling and she's moving with the star
Outside, baby girl, and that's my brand new Chevy car
I get it from my granddaddy who returned home from the war
He gave the dapper his old green helmet and his chipped up SLR
[Verse 5]
His golden pocket watch and a box of Cuban cigars
He gives me the keys and say, son, go and make yourself a star
So the loving I have to offer, baby, is what you're looking for
Come over, Josephine, you want to see the superstar
For the longest time, my baby, it's you I was really searching for
Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
[Verse 6]
Hello, Josephine
How do you do?
Do you remember me, my baby
Like I remember you, yeah? (See, and now)
You used to cry so much (Imagine)
It was a crying shame (Let's talk 'bout)
Alright
[Verse 7]
Hello, baby, tell me why you're keeping me so far
If you had a new lover, he and the dapper used to spar
Candlelight at dinner, having shark and caviar
I heard his name is Radics, when we bump then it's a war
And all your friends are saying he's a London superstar
Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
[Verse 8]
Hello, Josephine (Believe her)
How do you do? (Ah, she a typical star)
Do you remember me, my baby (She magic)
Like I remember you? (She him ting)
You used to cry so much
It's a crying shame (Let's talk 'bout)
[Verse 9]
Hello, baby, over here is near and over there is far
Come on over, honey, and get you closer to the bar
She's wiggling and she's jiggling and she's chilling with the star
Outside only girl and that's my brand new prestige car
I get it from my granddaddy who returned home from the war
He gives the dapper his old green helmet and his chipped up SLR
[Verse 10]
His golden pocket watch and a box of Cuban cigars
He gives me the keys and say, son, go and make yourself a superstar
The loving that I have to offer is what you're looking for
So, baby, why you treat me like an old armored car?
After all the loving that you give me down in San Lamar
Josephine, Josephine, Josephine
[Verse 11]
Hello, Josephine
How do you do?
Do you remember me, my baby (He must've wan' glass)
Like I remember you? (Imagine)
You used to laugh at me (Same place)
And holler, woo-woo-woo (Lamar)
[Verse 12]
Whoa now
I miss Josie, Josie, Jo, Josephine
Josie, Josie, Jose, Jo-Jo-Josephine
(Josephine, Josephine, Josephine)
Josephine
I remember you, do you remember me?
