10000 Maniacs Jolene Lyrics

Jolene 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
