Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
[Verse 2]
Your beauty is beyond compare
The flamin' locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
[Verse 3]
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
[Verse 4]
And he talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From cryin' when calls your name, Jolene
[Verse 5]
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
[Verse 6]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
[Verse 7]
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
And he's the only one for me, Jolene
[Verse 8]
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
[Verse 9]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Please don't take him just even though you can
Please don't take him just because you can, Jolene
