Don’t Blame Me (Jolene’s Reply)

V1
It’s me, Jolene, who takes the blame, I hear you yodeling my name
Every single time you get the chance
You declare that I’m the one who came along and spoiled your fun
You’re just using me for your snake dance
Chorus
Don’t blame me, some say you’re the finest woman they’ve ever seen
I don’t want to compete with you, and I don’t want your man, your man wants me
V2
That song you sing is such a fraud, you spin your tale like Sheherezade
As if your livin’ or dyin’ depends on me
Your imaginings put me through hell, the truth is stranger than the story you tell
Listen up, the truth will set you free
Chorus
Don’t blame me, some say you’re the finest woman they’ve ever seen
I don’t want to compete with you, and I don’t want your man, your man wants me
Bridge
Your man is not the one for me, but if he wants another, cut him loose, set him free

V3
I see the sadness in your sad eyes, yeah that’s a look I recognize
When a situation’s finally seen
If you didn’t think I’d done you wrong I bet we would get along
We have more in common than it seems
Chorus
Don’t blame me, some say you’re the finest woman they’ve ever seen
I don’t want to compete with you, and I don’t want your man, your man wants me
Bridge
Your man is not the one for me, but if he wants another, cut him loose, set him free

Chorus
But don’t blame me, I’d say you’re the finest woman I’ve ever seen
I don’t want to compete with you, don’t want to compete with you, I don’t want your man, I want you.
