Your help would be a gift so grand,
Your pretty face and charming ways,
If you'd take this man, sight unseen.
He's clingy, needy, and oh so weak,
I've got my eyes on someone new,
He'll bore you with his Star Wars chat,
Wanna see a new face…
Set me free, let me find my way,
He's a burden I can't stand.
So Jolene, save me from this fate.
A weedy nerd, a total freak.
And can't even cook, imagine that!
So Jolene, take him, please don't refrain.
He's got no chest, and can't lift a weight,
Please, Jolene, lend a helping hand.
I'm begging you, take him off my hands,
Take him away, make it crystal clear.
He's got no dream, just drags his feet,
Endless nights I've had to fight.
Can't keep a job, or cook a sick treat.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
Leaves dirty socks, and never stays up late.
I'm tired of his lazy whiny ways!
So Jolene, it's time he's stuck with you.
You'd be freeing me, and that ain't bad.
Please, Jolene, take him from me,
His whining voice drives me insane,
So Jolene, you see my plight,
Would do well to keep him at bay.
Take him, Jolene, and save my day.
Make your move and set me free,
Jolene, Jolene, you'd be my queen,
Take him, Jolene, I won't be sad,
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
One last time, I'm asking you here,
Wanna see the sun with brighter days…
He's always broke and always late,
