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 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

Whatever you decide to do, Jolene
