The most peculiar feelin'
Hits in the back of my skull
I try to fight that feelin'
But I feel it all night long

It's crawlin' under my skin
It's jumping my bones
It's making me sick
Why can't you leave me alone
'Cause I can't sleep at night now



Hey, Jolene, I'm makin' my own way I don't need your lovin'

I stay, I leave, you hate when I tell you it's none of your business



Find another partner girl 'cause you just ain't my style
You twist and dance the night away but girl you ain't my style
And I try to be good for you 'cause you just ain't no good
And I tried to build a happy home but you just ain't no good



Hey, Jolene, I'm makin' my own way I don't need your lovin'

I stay, I leave, you hate when I tell you it's none of your business



What do you do when you tell Blondie you're through and then you think about it?
What do you do when you're all alone and she wants to talk about it?
Too proud to beg and you gotta live without it
In my loneliest moments I think to myself
What a silver tongue
What a cruel joke



Hey, Jolene, I'm makin' my own way I don't need your lovin'

I stay, I leave, you hate when I tell you it's none of your business



You hate it when I try to tell you that you're not the one I'm dreamin' of
You hate it when I try to tell you that you're not the one I'm dreamin' of
You hate it when I try to tell you that you're not the one I'm dreamin' of
You hate it when I try to tell you that you're not the one I'm dreamin' of

Hey, Jolene, I'm makin' my own way I don't need your lovin'
I stay, I leave, you hate when I tell you it's none of your business
Hey, Jolene, my poison my nightshade but I'll find another to hold, to keep
To put me away with my bitterness and grief

Hey Jolene

Hey Jolene
