Jolene lyrics

Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene,
I'm begging of you, please don't take my man
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene,
please don't take him even though you can

your beauty is beyond compare
with flaming locks of auburn hair
with ivory skin
and eyes of emerald green

your smile is like a breath of spring
and your voice is soft like a summer rain
and I cannot compete with you Jolene
and he talks about you in his sleep
and there is nothing I can do to keep
from crying when he calls your name, Jolene

Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene,
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene,
please don't take him even though you can

well I could easily understand
how you could easily take my man
but you don't know what he means to me Jolene
well you could have your choice of men
but I could never love again
he's the only one for me Jolene
and I had to have this talk with you
my happiness depends on you
and whatever you decide to do Jolene

Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene,
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene,
please don't take him even though you can
