Boy she's smart, and she seems so kind
And I'm sure she loves you like a good woman might
And has what you have with her, everything you thought love would be?
Bet she makes you feel secure, like your life's got stability
And I know she's good to you
And I know that you're a good man too
And I don't want to be Jolene
But can I just ask, is her good love the love that you need?
It's been so long since we've seen one another
I feel a shift in the air as we speak
We've been friends for ages now, but something between us has changed
Since when, did your gaze start a fire that burns in me?
And I know she's good to you
And I know, that you're a good man too
And I don't want to be Jolene
But can you tell me, is it her you think of before you sleep?
And I don't know, if my love is right for you
But I see who you are and you see me too
So tell me that you love her and I'll walk away
But can you tell me, does her love make you happy?
No, I don't want to be Jolene
No, I don't want to be Jolene
No, I don't want to be Jolene
No, I don't want to be Jolene
