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
