wendy was my first love
  brenda was a step above
  dana was the girl right inbetween
  stephanie a tri-delt
  never knew how i felt
  alicia thought she was a beauty queen
  and everywhere i wanna go
  they would always tell me no
  cause they were too afraid they might be seen
  and, all the times i analyze, and always seem to patronize
  i finally met a girl i want to be with
    now, i can embrace my fears
  it's like she's been with me for 20 years
  there's only one thing left to say
    jolene's the one
  so i wrote this song, and it's all about her
  and there's no-way
  i could stand each day, if i'd never met her
    elka had an attitude, left me standing in the nude
  and she could never look me in the eye
  i once had my best friend's little sister gilian
  but she was immature and so am i
  but when it comes to waiting and expecting
  all these things will end
  i cannot find the words to emphasize
  the way i'm feeling
    now, i can embrace....
    jolene i saw your name, and all the others look the same
  your milky thighs and long brown hair, i just sit and stare
  it fills my heart and makes me glad to think of all the times we had
  now that i'm living day to day, i'm gonna be ok
