JOLENE

(Jolene)

(Jolene)

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I′m warning you, don't come for my man (Jolene)

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Don′t take the chance because you think you can

You're beautiful beyond compare

Takes more than beauty and seductive stares

To come between a family and a happy man

Jolene, I'm a woman too

The games you play are nothing new

So you don′t want no heat with me, Jolene

We been deep in love for 20 years

I raised that man, I raised his kids

I know my man better than he knows himself (huh, what?)

I can easily understand why you′re attracted to my man

But you don't want this smoke, so shoot your shot with someone else (you heard me)

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I′m warning you, woman, find you your own man

Jolene, I know I'm a queen, Jolene

I′m still a Creole banjee bitch from Louisianne (don't try me)

There′s a thousand girls in every room that act as desperate as you do

You a bird, go on and sing your tune, Jolene (what?)

I had to have this talk with you 'cause I hate to have to act the fool

Your peace depends on how you move, Jolene

Me and my man crossed those valleys, highs and lows and everything between

Good deeds roll in like tumbling weeds

I sleep good happy, 'cause you can′t dig up our planted seeds

I know my man′s gon' stand by me, breathing in my gentle breeze (ah)

I crossed those valleys, highs and lows and everything between

Good deeds roll in like tumbling weeds

Good and happy, ′cause you can't dig up them planted seeds

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I′ma stand by her, she will stand by me, Jolene

I'ma stand by him, he gon′ stand by me (I'ma stand by her, she gon' stand by me)

I′ma stand by him, he gon′ stand by me, Jolene
