Jolene

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

Now I could easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what it means to me, Jolene

I said 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

He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep from crying
When he calls your name, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Oh, I'm begging 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 because you can

Jolene

You could have your choice of me
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Oh, I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
