Josie sees her life as so complex
She's got a boyfriend his name is Rex
Rex is a pretty boy, he runs all over town
Breaks the young girls' hearts when she's not around
She doesn't like the life she's leading
But she's a prisoner of the fear of leaving
But Josie's getting stronger
Josie's getting stronger
She won't take it much longer
Oh Josie's getting stronger
All Josie's friends are so disgusted
By the fact that she claims she still loves him
Oh Josie wants him to change
But in her heart she knows he'll always be the
Same Oh he's enjoyed his freedom
He doesn't realize how much he'll need her
And Josie's getting stronger
Josie's getting stronger
She won't take it any longer
Josie's getting stronger
Josie kneels beside her bed stand
And prays for withered roses that slipped through her hands
Josie, she don't want your sympathy
She's so much stronger than she used to be
Josie's getting stronger
