Jolene lyrics   by Dolly Parton      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   I cannot compete with you, Jolene      he talks about you in his sleep   And there is 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 even though you can      Well I can easily understand   How you can easily take my man   But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene      Well you could have your choice of men   But I could never love again   He's the only one for me, Jolene      And 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
