Every 10th word

Please, Jolene, take him from me,
Make your move set me free,
He's got no dream, just drags feet,
Can't keep a job, or cook a sick treat.
I'm tired of his lazy whiny ways!
Wanna see new face…
Wanna see the sun with brighter days…

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
I’m begging you, take him off hands,
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
He’s a burden I can’t stand.

Your pretty face and charming ways,
Would do to keep him at bay.
He’s clingy, needy, and so weak,
A weedy nerd, a total freak.

Take him, Jolene, I won’t be sad,
You’d be freeing me, that ain’t bad.
I’ve got my eyes on someone new,
So Jolene, it’s time he’s stuck with you.

He’s no chest, and can’t lift a weight,
Leaves dirty socks, and never stays up late.
His whining voice drives insane,
So Jolene, take him, please don’t refrain.

He’ll you with his Star Wars chat,
And can’t even cook, imagine that!
He’s always broke and always late,
So Jolene, save me from this fate.

Jolene, Jolene, you’d be queen,
If you’d take this man, sight unseen.
Set free, let me find my way,
Take him, Jolene, save my day.

So Jolene, you see my plight,
nights I've had to fight.
Your help would be gift so grand,
Please, Jolene, lend a helping hand.
last time, I'm asking you here,
Take him away, it crystal clear.
