"Jolene" lyrics

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Ooh, I'm begging her to please don't take my man, yeah
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare, flaming locks of auburn hair
And ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring, skin is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene

Yeah, and I can easily understand, you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep, nothin' I can do to keep
From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene, c'mon

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Ooh, I'm begging her to please don't take my man, yeah
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can, yeah

I had to have this talk with you, my happiness depends on you
Whatever you decide to do, Jolene
And you can have your choice of men, I could never love again
'Cause He's the only one for me, Jolene, c'mon

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Ooh, I'm begging her to please don't take my man, yeah
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can, yeah

Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
