Chorus:
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
#DollyParton #Dolly #Jolene

What I love about this song is that she’s not like “fuck off you ugly bitch” she’s recognising her beauty but also expressing her insecurity about how fragile love is. It’s a very tender song but a powerful exclamation of her emotions.

Couldn’t have summed it up better. It’s a very emotional song about insecurities and vulnerability, and how people will stay in bad relationships because they love others. It’s tragic.

There's more soul in her voice... probably because it's a song about a real-life event.

[@frostbraus9527]

@@thepcenthusiastchannel2300 never said comparing wasn't good but doing it to downgrade something else is. Mind you both versions are based on real event : Beyoncé with "Becky with the good hair" and Dolly with Jolene which is why in Dolly P from Beyoncé you hear Dolly P saying to Beyoncé that Becky reminded her someone she knew from à similar situation. The thing is Dolly is begging Jolene no to take her man cause she's just a woman who wants to have a family against the beautiful Jolene who has the beauty to take him any time while Beyoncé is warning Becky not to come again like she did or she won't live in peace like 10 years ago cause she is Beyoncé and has the ability to threat her live.

I think Dolly's version was more pure and innocent. Beyonce's version was met with malice and anger and contempt for Jolene. Both artists are great. When I first heard Beyoncé version I didn't like it. But it's very creative. It's a very good album!🎉

[@ErikaBardere]

​@@dozzzorWhitney's is more of a cover into a new musical style, whereas Beyoncé did a remake into a new meaning. It allows people who didn't relate to Jolene, but maybe enjoyed the sound, to possibly FEEL connected to the fact that it's natural to express anger in such a situation.

"And I said, 'you are the prettiest thing I've ever seen.' She had this red hair, green eyes and fair skin. And I said 'what is your name?' and she said 'Jolene.' "I said.

She literally tells you - in the song - what Jolene looks like. Reddish-brown hair and green eyes means she is very exotic looking like a bewitching seductress in a fairy tale.

[@berenyildirim1481]

In an interview she says that Jolene was a little girl who looks exactly like she described in the song. This girl was a fan who jumped on the stage to meet Dolly. Dolly said "You are the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. What's your name?" She said "Jolene" Then Dolly said "Oh I know! Your father's name must be Joe and they named you after him." And Jolene responded "No... Just Jolene." And Dolly said " Jolene. I will write a song about you and you will think of this if you hear it anywhere." Search it on youtube. I watched the interview. Maybe she connected Jolene's beauty to what she experiences with her husband?

[@pungkuss]

Its obvious that the man is the issue, that is not the point of the song. She is probably not at the point in her life where she can accept that. The only thing she can think of is the heartbreak if he left. Avoiding that pain causes her to forsake every drop of pride she has left. I think we can all imagine her leaving that dude down the road when she realizes just how much she is worth. This is not that day.

We need more like that.

I'm a man and if a man has already had someone and still fall for others... That's messed up. He doesn't love you anymore.
