Dolly Parton: When Someone Wants To Leave

Dolly's delightful (and sad) tune from 1974's Jolene.


Lyrics Thanx 2: http://www.dollyon-line.com/archives/albums/jolene/jo_leave.shtml)

When you love somebody with all your heart and soul
And you want to keep them with you, but you know they want to go
What do you do, what do you say
When you know they want to leave
As bad as you want them to stay
And there's nothing quite as sad as a one-sided love
When one doesn't care at all and the other cares too much
It's a sad situation, I must say
When you know they want to leave
As bad as you want them to stay

You know how much I love you
But I know you don't love me
And I know it's just a matter of time before you leave
But I do, I stand aside and just let you walk away
But I know you want to leave
As bad as I want you to stay

And there's nothing quite as sad as a one-sided love
When one doesn't love at all and the other loves too much
It's a sad situation I must say
When someone wants to leave as bad as you want them to stay
Oh, it's a sad situation I must say
When someone wants to leave as bad as you want them to stay

I sure wish I could have her Cosmetic Surgeon. She looks great at 64.

@Jibbie49 AMEN :D

[raiderette68]

Don't think you could say it better than she has with this song. Sure sums up what I went through.

@oily8mutt Now if she were natural, I'm sure you'd watch her with her gray hair, chin whiskers, age spots, yellow teeth, glasses and breasts down to her waist. LOL I'm 62, so I know what I'm talking about. Jane Fonda said she spent $36,000 on her "white" teeth. I had to use my $36,000 to pay for my son's college loan.

Are you blind? Or more likely American. I love Dolly but she looks like a fucking Muppet.

It's a sad situation I must say when someone wants to leave as bad as you want them to stay. You know how much I love you but I know you don't love me. I know it's just a matter of time before you leave. But how do I stand aside and just let you walk away, but I know you want to leave just as bad as I want you to stay.
