DOLLY, DOLLY, DOLLY, DOLLY
Please don't beg, am not taking away your man
I won't take him away just because I can
Why will I when am in love with someone else.
I know the feeling that you feel
I was there too, and I still am.
The only man I loved has gone away
And you see, am still waiting for him.
With my honey dew eyes and way with words
I still could not keep the man I love
DOLLY, DOLLY, DOLLY, DOLLY
 Please stop crying, he is not worth it.
What am I to do, if he calls my name in his sleep?
I want none of him or anyone else.
Can't you see the pain in my eyes too?
If I don't cry, does not mean I don't.
Your happiness does not depend on me
Nor with him if he does not care.
Don't be a fool, listen to me Dolly
I don't care a bit about him
