Monique

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
And there’s nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
But I can easily understand
How you could easily take my Monique
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

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

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 Jolene, Jolene

Monique, Monique, Monique, Monique
Map sipliye w pa pran nèg mwen nan menm
Monique, Monique, Monique, Monique
Tanpri pa pran li jis paske w bèl fanm

Pa gon lòt fanm ki bèl tankou w
Bèl très ou yo bat jouk sou do w
Po kaf-ole zyè w bèl tankou solèy
Souri w se frechè kont chalè
Vwa ou dous tankou yon gato myèl
E mwen pa ka parèt nan pye w, Monique

Lè l ap dòmi l ap nonmen non w
Depi m tande l m pa ka fè anyen
Se dlo nan je lè m tande l di Monique
Men mwen kapab konprann byen fasil
Kijan ou ka chame nèg mwen an
Paske w pa konnen se li k tout mwen, Monique

Monique, Monique, Monique, Monique
Map sipliye w pa pran nèg mwen nan menm
Monique, Monique, Monique, Monique
Tanpri pa pran li jis paske w bèl fanm

Kenpòt nèg ou vle ou ka pran l
Men mwen m pap janm renmen lòt nèg
Sèl ti sa a se li mwen genyen, Monique
Se sa k fè m ap rakonte w sa a
Ou ka rann mwen fòl si ou vle
Tou depan de kisa ou vle fè, Monique

Monique, Monique, Monique, Monique
Map sipliye w pa pran nèg mwen nan menm
Monique, Monique, Monique, Monique
Tanpri pa pran l jis paske w bèl fanm

Monique, Monique, Monique, Monique
Map sipliye w pa pran nèg mwen nan menm
Monique, Monique, Monique, Monique
Tanpri pa pran li menm si ou ka pran l, Monique,
Monique
