White Stripes - Jolene lyrics

rate me

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene<br />

I'm begging of you, please don't take my man<br />

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene<br />

Please don't take him just because you can.<br />

<br />

Your beauty is beyond compare<br />

With flaming locks of auburn hair<br />

With ivory skin<br />

And eyes of emerald green<br />

<br />

Your smile is like a breath of spring<br />

Your voice is soft like summer rain<br />

I cannot compete with you, Jolene<br />

<br />

He talks about you in his sleep<br />

And there is nothing I can do to keep<br />

From crying when he calls your name, Jolene<br />

<br />

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene<br />

I'm begging of you please don't take my man<br />

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene<br />

Please don't take him even though you can<br />

<br />

Well I can easily understand<br />

How you can easily take my man<br />

But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene<br />

<br />

Well you could have your choice of men<br />

But I could never love again<br />

He's the only one for me, Jolene<br />

<br />

And I had to have this talk with you<br />

My happiness depends on you<br />

And whatever you decide to do, Jolene<br />

<br />

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene<br />

I'm begging of you please don't take my man<br />

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene<br />

Please don't take him even though you can
