Lyrics of Jolene by Dolly Parton
chorus
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
verse
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flamin' locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
verse
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
verse
He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothin' I can do to keep
From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene
verse
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
chorus
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
verse
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
verse
I had 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 beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
Jolene, Jolene
Writer(s): Dolly Parton, Filippos Nikolaou
