"Josie" lyrics

I knew a little girl who loved to dance
And Josie was her name
She though the world a stage and we would laugh
At daddy's little girl

She took her change and moved from the neighbourhood
Like we knew she would to live her dream

Josie was a little ballerina, you should've seen her
Smiling as she pirouetted
Never thought she'd end up table dancing
There's no romancing
Ballet when it's for one, it's over just as it's begun
Josie was a little ballerina

She undresses for the part and calls it out
The price is understood
Eyes that follow every move, cause she's the star
But no one knows her name

She wanted fame to help make her daddy proud
Now she screams aloud she's so ashamed

Josie was a little ballerina, you should've seen her
Smiling as she pirouetted
Never thought she'd end up table dancing
There's no romancing
Ballet when it's for one, it's over just as it's begun
Josie was a little ballerina

There are times she regrets
The road that she has taken
There are times she forgets
That she's daddy's girl
That she's daddy's little girl

Josie was a little ballerina, you should've seen her
Smiling as she pirouetted
Never thought she'd end up table dancing
There's no romancing
Ballet when it's for one, it's over just as it's begun
Josie's just another broken dreamer
