Jolene - Lyrics by 10000 Maniacs


Lyrics

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
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

Now 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

Now i can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me jolene
Oh you could have your choice of men
But i could never love again
He's the only one for me jolene

Well i have 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 just because you can
