Jolene, The White Stripes.

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I am begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him even though you can

Put the lyrics in the correct order:

Your is compare beauty beyond

With flaming hair auburn locks of

With skin of green ivory eyes and emerald

Your spring is a breath of smile like

Your rain voice is like soft summer

And, Jolene can compete with you not I

He talks about you in his sleep

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 even though you can

And I can easily understand

How you could easily take my man

But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene

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

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

Please don't take him even though you can
