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