[Verse 1] Jolene, I saw your ring Catch the porch light green You smiled like you knew What that look would do I ain’t mad at you Just tired of the ache Of a heart that shakes Every time you move [Pre-Chorus] So pull up that chair Let’s keep it right here Woman to woman No smoke, no tears I know what you want And I know what I’ve got We can talk plain Before this goes too far [Chorus] Jolene, Jolene I know your kind Jolene, Jolene You’re not the first in line Woman to woman Look me in the eye Jolene, Jolene Tell me why [Verse 2] You got a way With that cherry lip grin Like a summer storm That rolls back in I’ve seen your name In the corners of town On a Sunday dress And a secondhand crown But I loved him first And I loved him deep Now I’m asking you What you plan to keep [Pre-Chorus] So pull up that chair Let’s keep it right here Woman to woman No smoke, no tears I know what you want And I know what I’ve got We can talk plain Before this goes too far [Chorus] Jolene, Jolene I know your kind Jolene, Jolene You’re not the first in line Woman to woman Look me in the eye Jolene, Jolene Tell me why [Bridge] If you want his song Take the rest, not the soul If you want his hand Don’t take my home I’m not here to fight I’m here to say Some loves are borrowed Some can’t be paid [Final Chorus] Jolene, Jolene I know your kind Jolene, Jolene You’re not the first in line Woman to woman We both know the truth Jolene, Jolene He’s the hurt, not you
