"He talks about you in his sleep.
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying 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.
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.
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."
