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 Your voice is soft like summer rain And I cannot compete with you, Jolene. He talks about you in his sleep There´s nothing I can do to keep From crying when he calls your name, Jolene. And I can easily understand How you could easily take my man But you don´t know what he means to me, 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 just because you can. 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 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 just because you can. 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.
