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
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene, yeah (sure)
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, 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, you could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
'Cause he's the only one for me, Jolene
Well, I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
(I decided I'm keeping him! Ha-ha)
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
Jolene
