Lyrics
This next one is a song about another woman trying to steal another woman's man Lord, if somebody tried to steal some of the guys I've been out with, it'd be more like petty theft Anyway, this is about an old red-headed gal trying to steal my husband Early on when we first got married, oh, she was absolutely beautiful She was tall and skinny and red-headed, long legs, everything I wanted and didn't have She was a knockout, she didn't get him But I look at him every once in a while and boy, I wish she had Her name was Jolene In fact, I saw a couple of drag queens out there that came in earlier And they said, "Are you going to sing Jolene?" I said, "Yes, I am" One of them looked more like me than I ever will And the other one was prettier than any of us girls will ever be So this is for the drag queens and it's for you (One, two, three) Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Oh, I'm begging of you, please, don't take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don't take him just because you can Your beauty is beyond compare With flaming locks of auburn hair Ivory skin and eyes of emerald green Your smile is like a breath of spring Your voice is soft like summer rain Oh, I cannot compete with you, Drag Queen He talks about you in his sleep There's nothing I can do to keep from crying when he called your name, Jolene Oh, but I can easily understand how you could easily take my man But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Oh, I'm begging of you, please, don't take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don't take him just because you can Now you can have your choice of man I could never love again 'Cause he's the only one for me Jolene I had to have this talk with you My happiness depends on you And whatever you decide to do Jolene Everybody Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Oh, I'm begging of you, please, don't take my man Jolene, (Jolene) Jolene, (Jolene) Jolene, Jolene Please don't take him just because you can Jolene, Jolene Ah, thank you Thanks a lot Wow, I hope you guys enjoyed that I said it's a good thing I was a woman, I would definitely be a drag queen As much as I love to wear this, God Anyway, uh-mm
