da steht ein andrer neben dir und fühlt sich eins mit dem was deins war

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
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

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 knwo what he means to me, jolene
