Chorus:

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



Your beauty is beyond compare, with flamin' locks of open hair

With ivory skin and eyes of amber green

Your smile is like a breath of spring, your voice is soft like summer rain

And I can not compete with you, Jolene



He talks about you in his sleep, and there's nothing I can do to keep

From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene

And I can easily understand how you can easy take my man

But you don't know what it means to me, Jolene



chorus



Now, you could have your choice of men, but I could never love again

He's the only one for me, Jolene

I had to have this talk with you, my happiness depends on you

Whatever you decide to do, Jolene



Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, please don't take him, even though you can



Jolene (repeats out)
