Chorus:   Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man      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 can not compete with you, Jolene   He talks about you in his sleep, and there's nothing I can do to keep   From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene   And I can easily understand how you can easy take my man   But you don't know what it means to me, Jolene      chorus      Now, 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   Whatever you decide to do, Jolene   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
