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