Mose Allison - Josephine lyrics

There never was a gal I could love, like I love my Josephine She's a flirt, she's a scamp, she's the vampiest vamp I've ever seen It seems to me she's always flirting with the fellows pa**ing by But when I say she winks, then she tells me she thinks There's a cinder in her eye I believe it would be better if I'd leave her and forget Everybody says it would be wise But each time that I go out to dance with somebody else I find myself dancing with tears in my eyes For there's nobody quite so nice who can be quite so mean As my gal, what a gal, Josephine There never was a gal I could love, like I love my Josephine She's a flirt, she's a scamp, she's the vampiest vamp I've ever seen It seems to me she's always flirting with the fellows pa**ing by But when I say she winks, then she tells me she thinks There's a cinder in her eye I believe it would be better if I'd leave her and forget Everybody says it would be wise But each time that I go out to dance with somebody else I find myself dancing with tears in my eyes For there's nobody quite so nice who can be quite so mean As my gal, what a gal, Josephine
