(Jolene)
~#**************#~
(Jolene)
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
~#**************#~
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
~#**************#~
Im warnin’ you, dont come for my man (Jolene)
~#**************#~
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
~#**************#~
Dont take the chance because you think you can
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
~#**************#~
You’re beautiful, beyond compare
~#**************#~
Takes more than beauty and seductive stares
~#**************#~
To come between a family and a happy man
~#**************#~
Jolene, Im a woman too
~#**************#~
Thе games you play are nothing new
~#**************#~
So you dont want no hеat with me, Jolene
~#**************#~
Weve been deep in love for twenty years
~#**************#~
I raised that man, I raised his kids
~#**************#~
I know my man better than he knows himself (Yeah, what?)
~#**************#~
I can easily understand
~#**************#~
Why youre attracted to my man
~#**************#~
But you dont want this smoke, so shoot your shot with someone else (You heard me)
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
~#**************#~
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
~#**************#~
Im warnin you, woman, find you your own man
~#**************#~
Jolene, I know I’m a queen, Jolene
~#**************#~
I’m still a Creole banjee bitch from Louisiane (Dont try me)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Beyoncé]
~#**************#~
There’s a thousand girls in every room
~#**************#~
That act as desperate as you do
~#**************#~
You a bird, go on and sing your tune, Jolene (What?)
~#**************#~
I had to have this talk with you
~#**************#~
‘Cause I hate to have to act a fool
~#**************#~
Your peace depends on how you move, Jolene
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Beyoncé & Choir]
~#**************#~
Me and my man crossed those valleys
~#**************#~
Highs and lows and everything between
~#**************#~
Good deeds roll in like tumblin weeds
~#**************#~
I sleep good, happy
~#**************#~
‘Cause you can’t dig up our planted seeds
~#**************#~
I know my mans gon stand by me, breathin in my gentle breeze
~#**************#~
I crossed those valleys
~#**************#~
Highs and lows and everything between
~#**************#~
Good deeds roll in like tumblin weeds
~#**************#~
Good and happy
~#**************#~
‘Cause you cant dig up them planted seeds
~#**************#~
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
~#**************#~
Ima stand by her, she gon stand by me, Jolene
~#**************#~
[Outro: Beyoncé & Choir]
~#**************#~
Ima stand by him, he gon stand by me
~#**************#~
(Ima stand by her, she gon stand by me)
~#**************#~
Ima stand by him, he gon stand by me, Jolene
