Jolene Lyrics - Paula Cole

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
