She don’t love you like I love you
Cause if she did she wouldn’t break your heart
She don’t love you like I love you
She’s tryin’ to tear us apart
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m beggin’ of you, please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t take him just because you can
A clean up woman is a woman who
Gets all the love we girls leave behind
The reason I know so much about her
Is because she picked up a man of mine
He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straight in the eyes
He said
You’re no son, no son of mine
You’re no son, no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
And you’re no son, no son of mine
He came into the shop and looked me straight between the eyes
And said “You know I’m Jesus”, and I must have looked surprised
Because he said “Please don’t be hasty, no-one understands
But I’ve got a way to prove it” and he lifted up his hands.
He was the man who called himself Jesus.
If God had a face, what would it look like?
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like Heaven and in Jesus and the saints
And all the prophets?
Dear god I see you move the mountains
Dear god I see you moving trees
Sometimes it’s nothing to believe in
Sometimes it’s everything I see
Don’t believe the devil
I don’t believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up
Don’t believe in excess
Success is to give
Don’t believe in riches
But you should see where I live
I, I believe in love
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste…
Hey girl, I bet you
There’s someone out to get you
You’ll find him anywhere
On a bus, in a bar, in a grocery store
He’ll say, “Excuse me
Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?”
Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn’t recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me, and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried
It took a while, but she looked in the mirror
And she glanced at the license for my name
A smile seemed to come to her slowly
It was a sad smile, just the same
And she said, “How are you Harry?”
I said, “How are you Sue?
Through the too many miles and the too little smiles
I still remember you.”
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all
Then I shall tell them I remember you
Remember walking hand-in-hand
Remember the night was so exciting
Remember his smile was so inviting
Remember then he touched my cheek
Remember with his fingertips
Softly, softly we’d meet with our lips
Oh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
Huh (Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do
Travelin’ along, there’s a song that we’re singin’
Come on, get happy
A whole lotta lovin’ is what we’ll be bringin’
We’ll make you happy
We’ll make you happy
We’ll make you happy
Here we are once again
On another one-night stand
Major Happy’s up and coming
Once upon a good time band
Major Happy, Major Happy, Major Happy
Made ya happy
Major Happy’s up and coming
Easy-going good time band
Happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she’s a singer with the band, yeah
Don’t it ever get lonesome?
Don’t it ever give a young man the blues?
Don’t it ever get lonesome?
Don’t it ever make a young man wanna go back home?
When the P.A. system eats it,
And the band plays some of the most terrible shit you’ve ever known
