[Intro Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
I cannot compete with you, Jolene
[Verse 2]
Now he talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name Jolene
[Chorus]
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Oh Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
[Verse 3]
Now I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Oh you could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
[Verse 4]
And I have to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
[Chorus]
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
