Verse 1:
There's a girl named Jolene, she loves with a grip,
Hearts in her pocket, a smile on her lip.
When love starts to falter, she takes off her glove,
Ah, poor helpless fellows, did you not see the love?
Chorus:
Oh, Jolene, you scream, what’s with the viscosity?
Can’t you just let go, darling? It's just a catastrophe.
But you’re so charming, and those eyes glitter with schemes,
You’re just a little girl, living out your dark dreams.
Verse 2:
He said he was busy, oh what a cliché,
She waited three hours, took him out for a play.
With roses and sweetness, but oh, what a twist,
She pulled out a dagger, and crossed him off her list.
Chorus:
Oh, Jolene, you scream, what’s with the viscosity?
Can’t you just let go, darling? It's just a catastrophe.
But you’re so charming, and those eyes glitter with schemes,
You’re just a little girl, living out your dark dreams.
Bridge:
A love letter’s fine, but where’s the romance?
In the bottom of a trunk? It’s more than a chance.
Can’t buy you a drink, but I’ll buy you a lie,
Just hope that your heart can forgive or comply.
Verse 3:
I saw her at the bar, laughing with a glance,
“Come, join me for whiskey, let’s give fate a dance.”
But if you step back, darling, take heed and take care,
One wrong move, my dear, gets you tangled in her snare.
Chorus:
Oh, Jolene, you scream, what’s with the viscosity?
Can’t you just let go, darling? It's just a catastrophe.
But you’re so charming, and those eyes glitter with schemes,
You’re just a little girl, living out your dark dreams.
Outro:
So if you meet Jolene, remember one little rule,
Love's a tricky game, and she’s nobody’s fool.
With a wink and a smile, and a heart made of stones,
She’ll remind you of heartbreak in ways that feel like home.

Its a dark comedy song, about a girl named Jolene. She is a serial killer who kills the men who either leave her, or don't reciprocate her love. We want it do be morbid, humurous, dark. But we the singer are trivializing it, almost sympathizing with Jolene, while giving her barely a slap on the wrist or gentle scolding for her behaviour. We want the lyrics to not be too expositional or on the nose. We want to TRUST the listener to connect the dots. we can have quirky or oddly specific references. Words like viscosity for example are kind of a fun word that will immediately evoke the though of blood.
