Lyrics to “Jolene” by Beyoncé
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm warning you, don't come to my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Don't take a chance because you think you can
You are incomparably beautiful
It requires more than beauty and seductive looks
To come between a family and a happy man
Jolene, I'm a woman too
The games you play are not new
So you don't want to hate me, Jolene
We have been deeply in love for 20 years
I raised that man, and I raised his children
I know my man better than he knows himself (what)
I can easily understand why you are attracted to my man
But you don't want that smoke, so shoot with someone else (you heard me)
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm warning you woman, find your man
Jolene, I know I'm a queen, Jolene
I'm still a Louisianian Creole bitch (don't try me)
There are a thousand girls in every room
Acting as desperate as you do
You're a bird, go on and sing your tune, Jolene (what)
I had to have this conversation with you
Because I hate being a fool
Your peace depends on how you move, Jolene
My husband and I crossed those valleys
The highs, the lows and everything in between
It rolled like fallen weeds
I sleep well and happy, because you cannot extract our planted seeds
I know my man will stand by my side and breathe my gentle breeze
I crossed those valleys
The highs, the lows and everything in between
Good deeds roll down like fallen weeds
Good and happy, because you can't dig them sown seeds
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'll stand by her, and she'll stand by me, Jolene
I stand by him, and he will stand by me
I stand by her, and she will stand by me
I'll stand by him, and he'll stand by me, Jolene
