Jolene

Lyrics

[Intro] (soft humming over guitar) Mmmmmm… Girl… You already know why I’m here… [Verse 1] Jolene… I seen your pictures on his phone again Late-night hearts and little inside jokes Girl, you know exactly what you doin’ You got that soft skin That long hair down your back And confidence that turn heads Everywhere you walk at And I ain’t blind No, I know what men like I know how lonely gets after midnight [Pre-Hook] I cook the meals I pay the bills I held him down through all them years But lately he been distant And your name keep floatin’ in here [Hook] Jolene… Jolene… Please don’t take my man from me Jolene… Jolene… Don’t make my house a memory You don’t gotta steal what’s mine You got beauty, you got time I’m just tryna keep my peace tonight Jolene… [Verse 2] See, I know women like you Pretty don’t even cover it Instagram gold, everybody watchin’ And you wear attention comfortable Meanwhile I’m tired Hair wrapped up by ten Workin’ doubles all week Still tryna love that man And maybe that’s the part That really scares me most You remind him of freedom While I remind him of home [Bridge] (music strips down — just guitar and vocal) Girl, I ain’t mad at you ’Cause men gon’ do what they do But woman to woman I’m askin’ if you ever loved somebody too Enough to fight for ’em Enough to pray for ’em Enough to lose sleep Tryna stay warm for ’em [Final Hook — layered harmonies] Jolene… Jolene… Please don’t take my man from me Jolene… Jolene… Don’t let temptation bury me You could have anybody else Don’t come tearin’ up my world I’m beggin’ you from woman to girl… Jolene… [Outro] (gospel harmonies rising softly) Mmmmm… Don’t take him… Don’t take him… Jolene… Jolene…
