[ Originally by Dolly Parton ]
Your beauty is beyond compare
+
With flaming locks of auburn hair
+
And ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
+
Your smile is like a breath of spring
+
Your skin is soft like summer rain
+
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
+
Now I can easily understand
+
That you could easily take my man
+
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
+
I said, 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
+
He talks about you in his sleep
+
There's nothin' I can do to keep
+
From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene
+
And I had to have this talk with you
+
'Cause my happiness depends on you
+
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
+
I said, 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
+
Please don't take him just because you can
+
You could have your choice of men
+
But I could never love again
+
He's the only one for me, Jolene
+
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
+
I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man
+
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
+
Oh, please don't take him even though you can
+
