[Chorus] 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
[Verse 1]
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 compete with you, #Jolene
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 2]
He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothin' I can do to keep
From cryin' when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, #Jolene
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 4]
Your deathly gaze beyond compare
Their neck bones crunch like summer leaves
With pointed teeth and eyes like blackened trees
Your teeth are sharp, your mouth agape,
Your claws rend flesh, there's no escape,
From the judgment of the eldritch one, #Jolene.
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 5]
He screams about you in his sleep,
And when he wakes does naught but weep,
In terror of the one they call Jolene.
Blackening the summer skies,
With burning wings and countless eyes,
We tremble at the sight of you, #Jolene.
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 6]
We cower here beneath your gaze,
That sets the earth and sky ablaze,
Have mercy at the end of days, Jolene.
You see those who set your world on fire,
Tie them up with burning wire!
You'll get your sweet solace someday, #Jolene.
@Kinnison Meanwhile, from Jolene's side...
[Chorus]
I can love you better than that
I know how to make you forget her
All I'm askin' is for one little chance
'Cause, baby, I can love you
Baby, I can love you better
wait for it tomorrow. gonna get weird
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 3]
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
And whatever you decide to do, #Jolene
