Paula Cole (born April 5, 1968 in Rockport, Massachusetts, USA) is an American singer and songwriter. Among her hits include "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone," "Me," "I Am So Ordinary," "I Believe In Love," and the theme to the WB's hit series "Dawson's Creek," "I Don't Want to Wait." Cole released her debut album, Harbinger, in 1994 with Imago Records. She so entranced the industry with her vocals that she was asked to tour as an opening act for Peter Gabriel; she also appeared with Melissa Etheridge to sing a duet on VH1 though she was not well-known at the time. Harbinger featured songs dwelling on Cole's personal experience with discrimination and unhappiness. The songs were musically lush but driven and bleak.

Jolene Lyrics
Paula Cole
Chorus:
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene, Im beggin of you, please dont take my man
Your beauty is beyond compare, with flamin 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 can not compete with you, jolene
He talks about you in his sleep, and theres nothing I can do to keep
From cryin when he calls your name, jolene
And I can easily understand how you can easy take my man
But you dont know what it means to me, jolene
Chorus
Now, you could have your choice of men, but I could never love again
Hes 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
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene, Im beggin of you, please dont take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene, please dont take him, even though you can
