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
