[Chorus: Olivia Newton-John, Both]
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 1: Olivia Newton-John, Both]
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flamin' 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

[Verse 2: Dolly Parton]
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothin' I can do to keep
From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene
Oh, but I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
You don't know what he means to me, Jolene

[Chorus: Olivia Newton-John, Dolly Parton, Both]
Jolene (Jolene), Jolene (Jolene), Jolene, Jolene (Jolene)
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene (Jolene), Jolene (Jolene), Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

[Verse 3: Olivia Newton-John, Dolly Parton]
Now you could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene (Oh, Jolene)
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene, Jolene

[Chorus: Olivia Newton-John, Dolly Parton, Both]
Jolene (Jolene), Jolene (Jolene), Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
Jolene (Jolene), Jolene (Jolene), Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can (Even though you can)

[Post-Chorus: Olivia Newton-John, Dolly Parton]
Jolene (Jolene)
Jolene (Jolene)
Jolene (Oh, Jolene)
Jolene (Jolene)

[Outro: Dolly Parton, Olivia Newton-John]
You don't know what he means to me (Jolene)
He talks about you in his sleep (Jolene)
I cannot compete with you, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you (Jolene)
My happiness depends on you (Jolene)
Whatever you decide to do, Jolene
