Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
|
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
|
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
|
Please don't take him just because you can
|
|
Your beauty is beyond compare
|
with flaming locks of auburn hair
|
ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
|
Your smile is like a breath of spring
|
Your voice is soft like summer rain
|
I cannot compete with you Jolene
|
|
Now he talks about you in his sleep
|
and there's nothing I can do to keep
|
from crying when he calls your name Jolene
|
|
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
|
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
|
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
|
Please don't take him just because you can
|
|
Now I can easily understand
|
How you could easily take my man
|
But you don't know what he means to me Jolene
|
Oh you could have your choice of men
|
but I could never love again
|
He's the only one for me Jolene
|
|
Well I have to have this talk with you
|
My happiness depends on you
|
and whatever you decide to do Jolene
|
|
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
|
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
|
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
|
Please don't take him just because you can
|
