Jolene (Temptation Version)


Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m begging you, don’t take me from her arms
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I swore I’d never do her any harm

Your beauty pulls me like the tide, I feel it burning deep inside
With every word, you strip away my shield
Your smile is like a breath of sin, you speak and I can’t help but grin
But I can’t let this passion be revealed

I see her eyes, I see her trust, and breaking it would turn to dust
The life we built, the love I still believe
But every time you come around, I lose my sense, I lose my ground
You make it hard for me to simply leave

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Walk away before I lose control
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Don’t be the one who steals my very soul

You could have had your choice of men, and I’d be lying if I said
I didn’t feel the pull when you are near
But she’s been mine through thick and thin, and I won’t be the one who sins
To chase a dream that simply disappears

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m begging you, don’t take me from her arms
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t cause the fire that does her harm

Please don’t cause the fire that does her harm


Temptation Lyrics by Matthew Clubley © 17th May 2025


Jolene (Temptation Version)

When My Heart Aches

I walk the line, I toe the mark,
My mind draws maps inside the dark.
It whispers rules in quiet tones,
"Stay on course, stay alone."
But every sunset pulls me wide,
The colours break what I confide.
And though my brain says, "Just be wise,"
My heart ignites behind my eyes.
Chorus
My mind builds walls to keep me safe,
My heart keeps finding open gates.
I try to follow sense and sound,
But joy keeps dragging me around.
The more I try, the more I bend,
And logic breaks before the end.
Discipline will draw the stakes,
But when my heart aches, my mind breaks.

They told me all my life to think,
To never let emotion sink.
"Be sharp, be smart, keep feelings tame,
Don’t let desire fan the flame."
But there's a fire I can't restrain,
It sings of love, it dances pain.
My heart’s grown tired of being still—
It wants to run, it wants to feel.
Chorus

Instrumental

So here I stand, no clear escape,
Between the rules and what feels great.
My heart beats wild beneath my skin,
It won’t go back to where it’s been.
I’ve followed logic all these years,
Choked back the dreams, ignored the tears.
But now the silence starts to scream—
It’s time to live, it’s time to dream.
Chorus

When My Heart Aches

In my heart of hearts
I feel for you
And I hope you feel
The same way too
I can feel your love
Burn deep inside
Keeps me warm when you're
Not by my side

I'd do anything
You want me to
It is proof how much
I'm loving you
I would travel far
Away from here
But I know for now
You need me near
I am in love

CHORUS
With this world in such a mess
Only you bring happiness
I feel safe within your arms
While we know this love is true
It helps to share the things we do
Deep within we feel so calm

If I feel unwell
I know you'll be
Strong of heart
And there to comfort me
I will have you there
To trust each day
'Cause I recognise
This love displayed

Until now I have
Just lived alone
And I know that
You are on your own
But together we'd
Live happily
So I'm asking you
To marry me
We are in love

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

CHORUS

We are in Love

© 16th October 1994 M.Clubley


I am in Love

Female
The way you care for me
It’s like a guarantee
That we’ll be friends
Forever, this I can see

You’re such a gentle guy
And as time passes by
The trust we have
Deep down I feel will not die

Chorus
Is this love or is this friendship?
We both hope that it will not end

Male
I love the things you wear
The way you fix your hair
I’m captivated even
When you stand there

I don’t care what you say
It sounds good anyway
I’m falling for you
At the end of the day

Chorus

Instrumental

Chorus

Female & Male
I’m feeling something’s wrong
			I think I love you
This friendship’s got too strong
			I hope that you do
Inside this trust we have where do I belong?

The future’s clear to see
			Don’t want to lose this
I hope that you’ll agree
			You know we can’t kiss
So here’s my question “Will you marry me?”

End Chorus
Is this love or is this friendship?
We both hope that it will not end
You know that I will always love you
And I will always be your friend

Love or Friendship

Singer songwriter. I believe that each band deserves to have it's own identity, so I normally perform my own music, not covers.  However, I've been putting my "mark" on some songs, and in some cases slowing songs down to appreciate their lyrics and so you can hear my interpretation on the song.  

If you want a song written, why not get in touch and we can discuss it?
