He talks about you in his sleep 

theres not a lot I can do to keep

from crying when he calls your name 



Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene 

i'm begging of you please dont take my man 

jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene

please dont 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 compare to you Jolene



he talks about you in his sleep

theres not a lot i can do to keep

from crying when he calls your name jolene



jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene

im begging of you please dont take my man

jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene

please dont take him just because you can



you could have your choice of men 

but i could never love again 

'cause hes the only one for me Jolene



i had to have this talk with you 

cos my happiness depends on you

and whatever you decide to do Jolene



jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene

im begging of you plaese dont take my man

jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene

please dont take him even though you can

jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
