He talks about you in his sleep
And there's 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 just because 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
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene


He talks about you in his sleep
And there's 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 just because you can


You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again

Cause 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 even though you can

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene!
