A Date With Elvis (1959)












Blue Moon Of Kentucky lyrics - Elvis Presley

Blue moon, blue moon, blue moon
Keep shining bright
Blue moon, keep on shining bright
You're gonna bring me back my baby tonight
Blue moon, keep shining bright

I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Well, it was on one moonlight night
Stars shining bright
Wish blown high
Love said goodbye

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Well, I said blue moon of Kentucky, just keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Well, it was on one moonlight night
Stars shining bright
Wish blown high
Love said goodbye

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Young And Beautiful lyrics - Elvis Presley

You're so young and beautiful and I love you so
Your lips so red, your eyes that shine
Shame the stars that glow
So fill these lonely arms of mine
And kiss me tenderly
Then you'll be forever young
And beautiful to me

You're so young and beautiful, you're everything I love
Your angel smile, your gentle touch
Are all I'm dreaming of
Oh take this heart I offer you
And never set me free
Then you'll be forever young
And beautiful to me

(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care lyrics - Elvis Presley

You don't like crazy music
Don't like rocking bands
You just wanna go to a movie show
And sit there holding hands

You're so square
Baby, I don't care

You don't like hot-rod racing
Or driving late at night
You just wanna park where it's nice and dark
You just wanna hold me tight

You're so square
Baby, I don't care

You don't know any dance steps that are new
But no one else could love me like you do, do, do, do

I don't know why my heart flips
I only know it does
I wonder why I love you, babe
I guess it's just because

You're so square
Baby, I don't care

Baby, I don't care
Baby, I don't care
Baby, I don't care

I don't know why my heart flips
I only know it does
I wonder why I love you, babe
I guess it's just because

You're so square
Baby, I don't care

Baby, I don't care
Baby, I don't care, care, care, care
I don't care, care, care, care

Milkcow Blues Boogie lyrics - Elvis Presley

Oh, well, I woke up this morning
And I looked out the door
I can tell that old milk cow
By the way she lowed

(Hold it fellows, that don't move me)
(Let's get real, real gone for a change)

Well, I woke up this morning
And I looked out the door
I can tell that that old milk cow
I can tell the way she lowed

Now, if you've seen my milk cow
Please ride her on home
I ain't had no milk and butter
Since that cow's been gone

Well, I tried to treat you right
Day by day
Get out your little prayer book
Get down on your knees and pray
For you're gonna need
You're gonna need
Your loving daddy's help someday
Well, then you're gonna be sorry
For treating me this way

Oh, let's milk it!

Yeah!

Well, believe me, don't that sun
Look good going down?
Well, believe me, don't that sun
Look good going down?
Well, don't that old moon look lonesome
When your baby's not around?

Well, I tried everything to get along with you
I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna quit my crying
I'm gonna leave you alone
If you don't believe I'm leaving
You can count the days I'm gone
I'm gonna leave
You're gonna need your loving daddy's help someday

Well, you're gonna be sorry
You treated me this way
Mm-mm...

Baby, Let's Play House lyrics - Elvis Presley

Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, b-b-b-b-b-b baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Come back, baby, I wanna play house with you

Well, you may go to college
You may go to school
You may have a pink Cadillac
But don't you be nobody's fool

Now, baby
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you

Now listen, and I'll tell you baby
What I'm talking about
Come on back to me, little girl
So we can play some house

Now, baby
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
Oh, let's play house, baby

Now this is one thing, baby
That I want you to know
Come on back, and let's play a little house
And we can act like we did before

Well, baby
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
Hit it

Yeah

Now listen to me, baby
Try to understand
I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man

Now, baby
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, I wanna play house with you

Oh, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, b-b-b-b-b-b baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Come back, baby, I wanna play house with you

Good Rockin' Tonight lyrics - Elvis Presley

Well, I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
Well, I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight
I'm gonna hold my baby as tight as I can
Tonight she'll know I'm a mighty, mighty man
I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

I say, "Meet me in a hurry, behind the barn
Don't you be afraid, that I'll do you no harm
I want you to bring along my rocking shoes
'Cause tonight I'm gonna rock away all my blues"
I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

Well, we're gonna rock
We gonna rock
Let's rock
Come on and rock
We're gonna rock
All our blues away

Have you heard the news? Everybody's rockin' tonight
Have you heard the news? Everybody's rockin' tonight
I'm gonna hold my baby as tight as I can
Well, tonight she'll know I'm a mighty, mighty man
I heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight

Well, we're gonna rock, rock, rock, ah
Come on and rock, rock, rock
Well, rock, rock, rock, rock
Well, let's rock, rock, rock, rock
We're gonna rock all our blues away

Is It So Strange lyrics - Elvis Presley

Oh, if you tell a lie
You know that I'll forgive you
Though you say our love is just a game

And when you hear my name
You say I'm from a strange world
But is it so strange to be in love with you?

Is it so strange
That I love you more than all the world?
Is it so strange
I have no eyes for any other girl?

Oh, won't you take me back
And say that you still love me?
To waste a love like ours would be a sin

Let us kiss again
Let me hold you near
And take me from this strange world
That I'm living in

We're Gonna Move lyrics - Elvis Presley

Well, there's a leak in this old building
Yes, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building
We're gonna move to a better home

We got no pane in this old window
We got no pane in this old window
We got no pane in this old window
We're gonna move to a better home

Well, there's a hole in the roof where the rain pours in
A hole in the floor where it drops right out again
Well, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building
We're gonna move to a better home

Well, there's a crack across the ceiling
Yes, there's a crack across the ceiling
Well, there's a crack across the ceiling
We're gonna find us a better home

Well, we've got a stove without a chimney
We've got a stove without a chimney
What good's a stove without a chimney?
We're gonna move to a better home

Pulling down window shades is no use at all
The kids and the neighbor can peep right through the wall
Well, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building
Well, there's a leak in this old building (Look out below)
We're gonna move to a better
Move to a better
Move to a better home

I Want To Be Free lyrics - Elvis Presley

There's no joy in my heart, only sorrow
And I'm sad as a man can be
I sit alone in the darkness of my lonely room
And this room is a prison to me

I look out my window
And what do I see?
I see a bird
Way up in a tree
I want to be free (Oh yes), free (Oh yes)
Free
I want to be free
Like a bird in a tree (Wanna be free)

Oh, what good are my eyes? They can't see you
And my arms, they can't hold you so tight
I have two lips that are yearning
But they're no good to me
'Cause I know I can't kiss you tonight

I look out my window
And what do I see?
I see a bird
Way up in a tree
I want to be free (Oh yes), free (Oh yes)
Free
I want to be free
Like a bird in a tree (Want to be free)
I want to be free
Like a bird in a tree (Want to be free)

I Forgot To Remember To Forget lyrics - Elvis Presley

I forgot to remember to forget her
I can't seem to get her off my mind
I thought I'd never miss her
But I found out somehow
I think about her almost all the time
The day she went away
I made myself a promise
That I'd soon forget we ever met
But something sure is wrong
'Cause I'm so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget

The day she went away
I made myself a promise
That I'd soon forget we ever met
Well, but something sure is wrong
'Cause I'm so blue and lonely
I forgot to remember to forget

That's All Right lyrics - Elvis Presley

Well, that's all right, mama
That's all right for you
That's all right, mama, just anyway you do
Well, that's all right, that's all right
That's all right now, mama, anyway you do

Well, Mama, she done told me
Papa done told me too
"Son, that gal you're fooling with
She ain't no good for you"
But that's all right, that's all right
That's all right now, mama, anyway you do

I'm leaving town now baby
I'm leaving town for sure
Well, then you won't be bothered with
Me hanging around your door
But that's all right, that's all right
That's all right now, mama, anyway you do

Ah da da dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee
I need your lovin'
That's all right
That's all right now, mama, anyway you do

Lawdy Miss Clawdy lyrics - Elvis Presley

(originally by Lloyd Price)

Well, Lawdy, Lawdy, Lawdy, Miss Clawdy
Girl, you sure look good to me
But please don't excite me, baby
I know it can't be me

'Cause I give you all of my money
Yeah, but you just won't treat me right
You like to ball every morning
Don't come home till late at night

I'm going to tell, tell my mama
Lord, I swear, girl, what you've been doing to me
I'm going to tell everybody that I'm down in misery

So, bye, bye, bye, baby
Girl, I won't be coming no more
Goodbye, little darling, down the road I go

So, bye, bye, bye, baby
Girl, I won't be coming no more
Goodbye, little darling, down the road I go

Mystery Train lyrics - Elvis Presley

Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Well, that long black train got my baby and gone

Train, train, coming 'round, 'round the bend
Train, train, coming 'round the bend
Well, it took my baby, but it never will again
No, not again

Train, train, coming down, down the line
Train, train, coming down the line
Well, it's bringing my baby, 'cause she's mine all, all mine
She's mine, all, all mine

Train, train, coming 'round, 'round the bend
'Round, 'round the bend
Train, train, coming 'round, 'round the bend
'Round the bend
Well, it took my baby, but it never will again
Never will again
Ooh, whoa

Playing For Keeps lyrics - Elvis Presley

I'm playing for keeps
This time it's real
And I want you to know
Exactly how I feel
I'm playing for keeps
For sure this time
And I won't be happy
Until I know you're mine

There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else
Can thrill me like you do

I'm playing for keeps
Oh, love me too
Oh, don't make me sorry
That I fell in love with you

There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else
Can thrill me like you do

I'm playing for keeps
Oh, love me too
Oh, don't make me sorry
That I fell in love with you (in love with you)

Poor Boy lyrics - Elvis Presley

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain't lonesome, and I ain't blue
'Cause I could never be a poor boy
As long as I've got a dolly like you

Ain't got a crust, ain't got a cent
Can't buy a jug, can't pay the rent
I got a heart full of dreams and a lot of memory
And that's enough for me

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain't lonesome, and I ain't blue
'Cause I could never be a poor boy
As long as I've got a dolly like you

Can't buy a house, can't buy a lot
Ain't got a bean, ain't got a pot
But what I got is a heart full of love and memory
And that's enough for me

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain't lonesome, and I ain't blue
'Cause I could never be a poor boy
As long as I've got a dolly like you

Don't have a pig, don't have a cow
I don't have a horse to pull a plow
But what I got is a heart full of love and memory
And that's enough for me

They call me poor boy, poor boy, poor boy
But I ain't lonesome, and I ain't blue
'Cause I could never be a poor boy
As long as I've got a dolly like
I've got a dolly like
I've got a dolly like you

My Baby Left Me lyrics - Elvis Presley

Yes, my baby left me
Never said a word
Was it something I done?
Something that she heard?

My baby left me
My baby left me
My baby even left me
Never said a word

Now I stand at my window
Wring my hands and cry
I hate to lose that woman
Hate to say goodbye

You know she left me
Yes, she left me
My baby even left me
Never said a word
Play the blues, boy

Baby, one of these mornings
Lord, it won't be long
You'll look for me, baby
And daddy will done gone

You know you left me
You know you left me
My baby even left me
Never said goodbye

Now I stand at my window
Wring my hands and moan
All I know is that
The one I love is gone

My baby left me
You know she left me
My baby even left me
Never said a word
Yes, my baby left me
Never said a word

I Was The One lyrics - Elvis Presley

I was the one who taught her to kiss
The way that she kisses you now
And you know the way she touches your cheek
Well, I taught her how

I was the one who taught her to cry
When she wants you under her spell
The sight of her tears drives you out of your mind
I taught her so well

And then one day
I had my love as perfect as could be
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried
And it was all for me

I'll never know who taught her to lie
Now that it's over and done
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
I was the one

And then one day
I had my love as perfect as could be
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried
And it was all for me

I'll never know who taught her to lie
Now that it's over and done
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
I was the one

Shake, Rattle And Roll lyrics - Elvis Presley

Well, get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
Get out of that bed, wash your face and hands
Well, get in that kitchen, make some noise with the pots and pans

I believe it to my soul you're the devil in nylon hose
I believe it to my soul you're the devil in nylon hose
For the harder I work, the faster my money goes

Well, I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do right to save your doggone soul
(Shake rattle and roll)

I'm like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
Well, I can look at you, tell you ain't no child no more

I believe you're doing me wrong, and now I know
I believe you're doing me wrong, and now I know
'Cause the harder I work, the faster my money go

Well, I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do right to save your doggone soul
(Shake it again!)

I went over the hill, way down underneath
I went over the hill, way down underneath
You make me roll my eyes, and then you make me grit my teeth

Well, I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
I said shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do right to save your doggone soul

I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone lyrics - Elvis Presley

Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone
Well, you tried to tell me so
But how was I to know
That she, she was not the one for me?

You told me all along
You're right, our love was so wrong
But now I changed my mind
Because she broke the ties that bind
And I know that she never cared for me

Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do
I guess I'm not so smart
Oh, you tried to tell me all along
She'd only break my heart
I'm left, you're right, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone

Well, she's gone, I know not where
But now I just don't care
For now I'm falling for you

If you'll forgive me now
I'll make it up somehow
So happy we will be
In a home just for three
And I'll soon forget her
Now I know

Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do
I guess I'm not so smart
Well, you tried to tell me all along
She'd only break my heart

You're right, I'm left, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone
Well, she's gone, I know not where
But now I just don't care
For now I've fallen for you

You're A Heartbreaker lyrics - Elvis Presley

You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
A heartbreaker playing with fire
You're a tear snatcher
You're a quarrel patcher
But you can't break my heart anymore
For I have just found someone else
Who's sure to take your place
Someone I can always trust
And to fill this empty space

You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
But you can't break my heart anymore

You're a smooth talker
You're a real cool walker
But now you have talked out of turn
You're a high stepper
You're an eye-catcher
But you won't catch my glances any more
For I have just found someone else
Who's sure to take your place
Someone I can always trust
And to fill this empty space

You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
But you can't break my heart anymore

You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
A heartbreaker playing with fire
You're a tear snatcher
You're a quarrel patcher
But you can't break my heart anymore
For I have just found someone else
Who's sure to take your place
Someone I can always trust
And to fill this empty space

You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker
But you can't break my heart anymore

I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine lyrics - Elvis Presley

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I'm with my baby
Well, it ain't no fun with the sun around
I get going when the sun goes down
And I'm with my baby

Well, that's when we're going to kiss and kiss
And kiss and kiss
And we're going to kiss some more
Who cares how many times we kiss
'Cause at a time like this, who keeps score?

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I meet my baby

Well, that's when we're going to kiss and kiss
And kiss and kiss
And we're going to kiss some more
Who cares how many times we kiss
'Cause at a time like this, who keeps score?

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I meet my baby

And it don't matter if it's sleet or snow
The drive-in's cozy when the lights are low
And I'm with my baby
Makes no difference if the rain comes down
I don't notice when she's around
Oh boy, what a baby

Well, that's when we're going to kiss and kiss
And kiss and kiss
And we're going to kiss some more
Well, one kiss from my baby doll
Makes me holler more, more, more, more

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I meet my baby

Well, that's when we're going to kiss and kiss
And kiss and kiss
And we're going to kiss some more
Well, one kiss from my baby doll
Makes me hot, more, more, more, more

Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I'm with my baby

King Creole lyrics - Elvis Presley

King Creole

There's a man in New Orleans
Who plays rock and roll
He's a guitar man
With a great big soul
He lays down a beat
Like a ton of coal
He goes by the name of King Creole

You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip shaking King Creole

When the king starts to do it
It's as good as done
He holds his guitar
Like a Tommy gun
He starts to growl
From way down his throat
He bends a string
And "that's all she wrote"

You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip shaking King Creole

Well, he sings a song about a crawdad hole
He sings a song about a jelly roll
He sings a song about pork and greens
He sings some blues about New Orleans

You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip shaking King Creole

Well, he plays something evil
Then he plays something sweet
No matter what he plays
You got to get up on your feet

When he gets the rockin' fever
Baby, heaven sakes
He don't stop playin'
'Till his guitar breaks

You know he's gone, gone, gone
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
You know he's gone, gone, gone
Hip shaking King Creole

As Long As I Have You lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "King Creole" soundtrack)

Let the stars fade and fall
And I won't care at all
As long as I have you

Every kiss brings a thrill
And I know that it will
As long as I have you

Let's think of the future
Forget the past
You're not my first love
But you're my last
Take the love that I bring
Then I'll have everything
As long as I have you

Let's think of the future
Forget the past
You're not my first love
But you're my last
Take the love that I bring
Then I'll have everything
As long as I have you

As long, as long as I have you

Hard Headed Woman lyrics - Elvis Presley

Well a hard headed woman,
a soft hearted man
been the cause of trouble
ever since the world began.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
a hard headed woman been
a thorn in the side of man.

Now Adam told to Eve,
"Listen here to me,
don't you let me catch you
messin' round that apple tree."
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
a hard headed woman been
a thorn in the side of man.

Now Samson told Delilah
loud and clear,
"Keep your cotton pickin' fingers
out my curly hair."
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
a hard headed woman been
a thorn in the side of man.

I heard about a king
who was doin' swell
till he started playing
with that evil Jezebel.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
a hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of man.

I got a woman,
a head like a rock.
If she ever went away
I'd cry around the clock.
Oh yeah, ever since the world began
a hard headed woman been
a thorn in the side of man.

Trouble lyrics - Elvis Presley

If you're looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If you're looking for trouble
Just look right in my face
I was born standing up
And talking back
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me

I've never looked for trouble
But I've never ran
I don't take no orders
From no kind of man
I'm only made out
Of flesh, blood and bone
But if you're gonna start a rumble
Don't you try it on alone
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be
I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be
So don't mess around don't mess around don't mess around with me
I'm evil, I'm evil, evil, evil
So don't mess around, don't mess around with me
I'm evil, I tell you I'm evil
So don't mess around with me
Yeah!

Dixieland Rock lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "King Creole" soundtrack)

Well down in New Orleans at the Golden Goose
I grabbed a green-eyed dolly that was on the loose
Well I dig that music, well she said me too
I said pretty baby come on and let's do

The Dixieland rock
Well the Dixieland rock
Let your hair down Sugar, shake it free
And do the Dixieland rock with me

With the blue light shining on her swinging hips
She got the drummer so nervous that he lost his sticks
The cornet player hit a note that's flat
The tromboner hit him while the poor cat sat

The Dixieland rock
Well the Dixieland rock
Let your hair down Sugar, shake it free
And do the Dixieland rock with me

I was all pooped out and when the clock struck four
But she said no daddy can't leave the floor
She wore a clinging dress that fit so tight
She couldn't sit down so we danced all night

The Dixieland rock
Well the Dixieland rock
Let your hair down Sugar, shake it free
And do the Dixieland rock with me
Let your hair dance Sugar, shake it
And do the Dixieland rock with me

Don't Ask Me Why lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "King Creole" soundtrack)

I'll go on loving you
Don't ask me why
Don't know what else to do
Don't ask me why

How sad my heart would be
If you should go
Though you're not good for me
I want you so

It's not the kind
Of love I dream about
But it's the kind
That I can't live without

You're all I'm longing for
Don't say good-bye
I need you more and more
Don't ask me why
I need you more and more
Don't ask me why

Lover Doll lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "King Creole" soundtrack)

Lover doll, oh lover doll
Lover doll, lover doll
You're the cutest lover doll
That I ever did ever see
Let me tell you lover doll
You were meant, just meant for me

On the first time that I saw you
How I fell for your cuddly charms
Lover doll I'm crazy for you
Let me rock you in my arms

I'm so glad I found you
Never thought dollies came full grown
I'm gonna tie a ribbon around you
Wrap you up and take you home

I would never treat you badly
Like a cast away broken toy
Lover doll I love you madly
Let me be your lover boy

I'm so glad I found you
Never thought dollies came full grown
I'm gonna tie a ribbon around you
Wrap you up and take you home

I would never treat you badly
Like a cast away broken toy
Lover doll I love you madly
Let me be your lover boy

Lover doll, lover doll
Lover doll, lover doll
Lover doll, lover doll
Let me be your lover boy

Lover doll, lover doll
Lover doll, lover doll
Lover doll, lover doll
Let me be your lover boy
Let me be your lover boy
Let me be your lover boy

Crawfish lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "King Creole" soundtrack)

Crawfish
Well I went to the bayou just last night
There was no moon but the stars were bright
Put a big long hook on a big long pole
And I pulled Mr. Crawfish out of his hole
Crawfish

See I got him, see the size
Stripped and cleaned before your eyes
Sweet meat look, fresh and ready to cook
Crawfish

Now take Mr. Crawfish in your hand
He's gonna look good in your frying pan
If you fry him crisp or you boil him right
He'll be sweeter than sugar when you take a bite
Crawfish

Young Dreams lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "King Creole" soundtrack)

(Young dreams of love, young dreams of love)
Young dreams (Young dreams, young dreams)
My heart is filled with young dreams (dreams)
And I'm longing to
Share them all with you

In my eyes, (my eyes, my eyes)
Oh can't you see in my eyes (in eyes)
That you're the only one who
Can make my young dreams come true

I have young arms
That wanna hold you (hold you)
Hold you oh so tight

That want to kiss you (kiss you)
Kiss you morning noon and night

Oh darling take my hand (take hand)
And let me make you a part
Of all my young dreams of love

Of all my young dreams of love
A part of all of my young dreams of love

Steadfast, Loyal And True lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "King Creole" soundtrack)

Farewell, Royal High School,
We'll remember you.
Dear alma mater,
We're steadfast, loyal, and true.

As we go onward
In the lives we lead.
Your light will guide us,
Your motto is our creed.

We will look back fondly
At your ivy walls,
Recalling precious moments
Within your hallowed halls.

Farewell, Royal High School,
We'll remember you.
Dear alma mater,
We're steadfast, loyal, and true.

New Orleans lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "King Creole" soundtrack)

You'll never know
What heaven means
Until you've been down to New Orleans
You ain't been livin' till you cuddle and coo
With some black-eyed baby by de old bayou

You've never seen
You've never seen those Cupid doll queens
Like they got 'em in New Orleans
And, ooh, they love you like no-one can
It makes you awful glad that you were born a man.

If-if-if you ain't been there
Then you ain't been nowhere
The livin's lazy and the lovin's fine
If you feel low down
So help me Hannah
You should lose the blues in Loui-si-i-si-ana.

Get the lead
Get the lead out of your jeans
And hot foot it down, hot foot down to where?
New Orleans
Louisiana baby tells you stay awhile
Live it up, love it up, southern style
Way down in New New Orleans.

Hound Dog lyrics - Elvis Presley

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

When they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
When they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

When they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
When they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

When they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
You know they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine

Loving You lyrics - Elvis Presley

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
I will spend my whole life through
loving you, loving you.
Winter, summer, spring-time, too,
loving you, loving you.
Makes no difference where I go or what I do.
You know that I'll always be loving you.

If I'm seen with someone new,
don't be blue, don't be blue.
I'll be faithful I'll be true;
always true, true to you.
There is only one for me, and you know who.
You know that I'll always be loving you.

All Shook Up lyrics - Elvis Presley

A well I bless my soul
What's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Well, my hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Well, please don't ask me what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up, but I'm feelin' fine
When I'm near that girl that I love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death!

She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!

My tongue gets tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
That's to have the girl that I love so fine!

She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
I'm all shook up

Heartbreak Hotel lyrics - Elvis Presley

Well, since my baby left me
Well, I found a new place to dwell
Well, it's down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel

Where I'll be, I'll be so lonely baby
Well, I'm so lonely
I'll be so lonely, I could die

Although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom

They'll be so, they'll be so lonely baby
They get so lonely
They're so lonely, they could die

Now, the bell hop's tears keep flowin'
And the desk clerk's dressed in black
Well, they've been so long on Lonely Street
They'll never, never look back

And they get so, they get so lonely baby
Well they are so lonely
They're so lonely, they could die

Well, now, if your baby leaves you
And you got a tale to tell
Well, just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak Hotel

Where you will be, you will be so lonely baby
Well you will be lonely
You'll be so lonely, you could die

Although it's always crowded
But you still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers to cry there in their gloom

Where they get so, they get so lonely baby
Well they're so lonely
They'll be so lonely, they could die

Jailhouse Rock lyrics - Elvis Presley

The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Number forty-seven said to number three:
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Sad Sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock...

Love Me lyrics - Elvis Presley

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
Treat me like a fool,
Treat me mean and cruel,
But love me.

Wring my faithful heart,
Tear it all apart,
But love me.

If you ever go,
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
I'll be sad and blue,
Crying over you, dear only.

I would beg and steal
Just to feel your heart
Beatin' close to mine

Well, if you ever go,
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
I'll be sad and blue,
Crying over you, dear only.

I would beg and steal
Just to feel your heart
Beatin' close to mine

Well, if you ever go,
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
Beggin' on my knees,
All I ask is please, please love me
Oh yeah

Too Much lyrics - Elvis Presley

Well, honey, I love you too much
I need your lovin' too much
Want the thrill of your touch
Well gee, I can't love you too much
You do all the livin'
While I do all the givin'
Cause I love you too much

Well, you spend all my money too much
I have to share you honey, too much
When I want some lovin', you're gone
Don't you know you're treatin' your daddy wrong
Now you got me started
Don't you leave me broken-hearted
Cause I love you too much

I need your lovin' all the time
Need your huggin', please be mine
Need you near me, stay real close
Please, please, hear me, you're the most
Now you got me started
Don't you leave me broken-hearted
Cause I love you too much

Too much

Every time I kiss your sweet lips
I can feel my heart go flip flip
I'm such a fool for your charms
Take me back baby in your arms
Like to hear you sighin'
Even though I know you're lyin'
Cause I love you too much

I need your lovin' all the time
Need your huggin', please be mine
Need you near me, stay real close
Please, please, hear me, you're the most
Now you got me started
Don't you leave me broken-hearted
Cause I love you too much

Don't Be Cruel lyrics - Elvis Presley

You know I can be found,
Sitting home all alone,
If you can't come around,
At least please telephone.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.

Baby, if I made you mad
For something I might have said,
Please, let's forget my past,
The future looks bright ahead,
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.

Don't stop thinking of me,
Don't make me feel this way,
Come on over here and love me,
You know what I want you to say.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Why should we be apart?
I really love you baby, cross my heart.

Let's walk up to the preacher
And let us say I do,
Then you'll know you'll have me,
And I'll know that I'll have you,
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
I don't want no other love,
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.

That's When Your Heartaches Begin lyrics - Elvis Presley

If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of a friend
That's when your heartaches begin
When dreams of a lifetime
Must come to an end
That's when your heartaches begin

Love is a thing
You never can share
When you bring a friend
Into your love affair
That's the end of your sweetheart
That's the end of your friend
That's when your heartaches begin

If you find your sweetheart
In the arms of your best friend
Brother, that's, that's when your heartaches begin
And you know, when all of your dreams
When all of your dreams of a lifetime, must all come to an end
Well, that's, that's when your heartaches begin

You see love is a thing that
That you never can share
And when you bring a friend
When you bring a friend into your love affair
That's the end of your sweetheart
That's the end of your friend
That's the when your heartaches begin

(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear lyrics - Elvis Presley

Baby let me be
Your lovin' Teddy Bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be (oh let him be)
Your teddy bear

I don't wanna be a tiger
Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
'Cause lions ain't the kind
You love enough

I just wanna be
Your Teddy Bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be (oh let him be)
Your Teddy Bear

Oh baby let me be
Around you every night
Run your fingers through my hair
And cuddle me real tight
Oh let me be (oh let him be)
Your Teddy Bear

I don't wanna be a tiger
Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
Cause lions aren't the kind
You love enou-ou-ou-ough

Just wanna be your Teddy Bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be (oh let him be)
Your teddy bear
Oh let me be (oh let him be)
(Your teddy bear)
I just wanna
Be your Teddy Bear (ooh)

Love Me Tender lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Elvis (NBC TV Special)" soundtrack)

Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.

Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
and I always will.

Love me tender,
love me long,
take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong,
and we'll never part.

Love me tender,
love me dear,
tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
till the end of time.

(When at last my dreams come true
Darling this I know
Happiness will follow you
Everywhere you go).

Treat Me Nice lyrics - Elvis Presley

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
When I walk through that door
Baby be polite
You're gonna make me sore
If you don't greet me right
Don't you ever kiss me once, kiss me twice
Treat me nice

I know that you've been told
It's not fair to tease
So if you come on cold
I'm really gonna freeze
If you don't want me to be cold as ice
Treat me nice

Make me feel at home
If you really care
Scratch my back and run your pretty
Fingers through my hair

You know I'll be your slave
If you ask me to
But if you don't behave
I'll walk right out on you
If you want my love then take my advice
Treat me nice

Make me feel at home
If you really care
Scratch my back and run your pretty
Fingers through my hair

You know I'll be your slave
If you ask me to
But if you don't behave
I'll walk right out on you
If you want my love then take my advice
Treat me nice

If you really want my love then treat me nice

Any Way You Want Me (That's How I Will Be) lyrics - Elvis Presley

I'll be a strong as a mountain,
Or weak as a willow tree,
Anyway you want me,
That's how I will be.

I'll be a tame as a baby,
Or wild as the raging sea,
Anyway you want me,
That's how I will be.

In your hand my heart is clay,
To take a mold as you may.
I'm what you make me, you've only to take me,
And in your arms I will stay.

I'll be a fool or a wise man,
My darling you hold the key,
Yes, anyway you want me,
That's how I will be,
I will be.

I Want You, I Need You, I Love You lyrics - Elvis Presley

[Ira Kosloff, Maurice Mysels]

Hold me close, hold me tight
Make me thrill with delight
Let me know where I stand from the start
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart

Ev'ry time that you're near
All my cares disappear
Darling, you're all that I'm living for
I want you, I need you, I love you
More and more

I thought I could live without romance
Until you came to me
But now I know that
I will go on loving you eternally

Won't you please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'Cause I die ev'ry time we're apart
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart

Well, I thought I could live without romance
Until you came to me
But now I know that
I will go on loving you eternally

Won't you please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'Cause I die ev'ry time we're apart
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart

Young And Beautiful lyrics - Elvis Presley

You're so young and beautiful and I love you so
Your lips so red, your eyes that shine
Shame the stars that glow
So fill these lonely arms of mine
And kiss me tenderly
Then you'll be forever young
And beautiful to me

You're so young and beautiful, you're everything I love
Your angel smile, your gentle touch
Are all I'm dreaming of
Oh take this heart I offer you
And never set me free
Then you'll be forever young
And beautiful to me

I Want To Be Free lyrics - Elvis Presley

There's no joy in my heart,
only sorrow
And I'm sad
as a man can be
I sit alone in the darkness
of my lonely room
And this room
is a prison to me

I look at window
and what to I see
I see a bird
way up in the tree
I want to be free free
Free - ee - ee - ee
I want to be free
like the bird in the tree

What good are my eyes,
they can't see you
And my arms,
they can't hold so tight
I have two lips
that are yearning,
but they're no good to me
Cause I know I can't kiss you tonight

I look at window
and what to I see
I see a bird
way up in the tree
I want to be free free
Free - ee - ee - ee
I want to be free
like the bird in the tree
I want to be free
like the bird in the tree

Don't Leave Me Now lyrics - Elvis Presley

Don't leave me now
Now that I need you
How blue and lonely I'd be
If you should say we're through

Don't break my heart
This heart that loves you
They'll just be nothing for me
If you should leave me now
(Don't leave me now)

What good is dreamin'
If I must dream all alone by myself
Without you darling
My arms would gather dust
Like a book on a shelf

Come to these arms
These arms that need you
Don't close your eyes to my plea
Don't leave me now

Don't close your eyes to my plea
Don't you leave me now
(Don't you leave me now)

(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care lyrics - Elvis Presley

You don't like crazy music.
You don't like rockin' bands.
You just wanna go to a movie show,
And sit there holdin' hands.
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care.

You don't like hotrod racin'
Or drivin' late at night.
You just wanna park where it's nice and dark.
You just wanna hold me tight.
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care.

You don't know any dance steps that are new,
But no one else could love me like you do, do, do, do.

I don't know why my heart flips.
I only know it does.
I wonder why I love you, baby.
I guess it's just because
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care.

Elvis' Christmas Album (1957)












Santa Claus Is Back In Town lyrics - Elvis Presley

(Christmas, Christmas, Christmas...)

Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling down
Well you be a real good little girl
Santa Claus is back in town

Got no sleigh with reindeer
No sack on my back
You're gonna see me comin' in a big black Cadillac

Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town

Hang up your pretty stockings
And turn off the light
Santa Claus is comin' down your chimney tonight

Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town

(Christmas, Christmas, Christmas...)

White Christmas lyrics - Elvis Presley

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where those tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white".

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
May your days may your days may your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.

Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane) lyrics - Elvis Presley

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane

Vixen, Blitzen, all his reindeer
Pulling on the reins
Bells are ringing, children singing
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say a prayer
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Riding down Santa Claus Lane

He's got a bag that's filled with toys
For boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle
What a beautiful sight
Jump in bed and cover up your head
Because Santa Claus comes tonight

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Riding down Santa Claus Lane

He doesn't care if you're a rich or poor boy
He loves you just the same
Santa knows that we're God's children
That makes everything right
Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Well, here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Riding down Santa Claus Lane

He'll come around when the chimes ring out
It's Christmas morn again
Peace on Earth will come to all
If we just follow the light
Let's give thanks to the Lord above
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

I'll Be Home For Christmas lyrics - Elvis Presley

I'll be home for Christmas,
You can plan on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents for the tree.

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light leads.
I'll be home for Christmas, oh yes
If only in my dreams.

Blue Christmas lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Elvis (NBC TV Special)" soundtrack)

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on our green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
That's when those blue memories start callin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

Santa Bring My Baby Back (To Me) lyrics - Elvis Presley

I don't need a lot of presents
To make my Christmas bright
I just need my baby's arms
Wound around me tight
Oh oh santa hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me

The Christmas tree is ready
The candles all aglow
But with my baby far away
What good is mistletoe
Oh oh Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me

Please make these reindeer hurry
Well their time is drawing near
It sure won't seem like Christmas
Until my baby's here
Fill my sock with candy
And a bright and shiny toy
You wanna make me happy and fill my heart with joy
Then Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me

Please make these reindeer hurry
Well their time is drawing near
It sure won't seem like Christmas
Until my baby's here
Fill my sock with candy
And a bright and shiny toy
You wanna make me happy and fill my heart with joy
Then Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me

Then Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me

O Little Town Of Bethlehem lyrics - Elvis Presley

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

Silent Night lyrics - Elvis Presley

(Mohr - Gruber)
Silent night, holy night.
All is calm, all is bright.
'Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild.
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night.
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glorious strains from Heaven afar
Heavenly Hosts sing alleluia.
Christ the Saviour is born,
Christ the Saviour is born.

(There'll Be) Peace In The Valley (For Me) lyrics - Elvis Presley

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary
But I must go alone
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning's so bright
And the Lamb is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be led by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

I Believe lyrics - Elvis Presley

I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come
To show the way
I believe, I believe

I believe above a storm the smallest prayer
Can still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word

Everytime I hear a new born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why, I believe

Everytime I hear a new born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why, I believe

Take My Hand, Precious Lord lyrics - Elvis Presley

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

It Is No Secret (What God Can Do) lyrics - Elvis Presley

The chimes of time ring out the news,
Another day is through.
Someone slipped and fell.
Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength,
Your courage to renew.
Do not be disheartened,
For I have news for you.

It is no secret what God can do.
What He's done for others, He'll do for you.
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do.

There is no night for in His light
You never walk alone.
Always feel at home,
Wherever you may go.

There is no power can conquer you
While God is on your side.
Take Him at His promise,
Don't run away and hide.

It is no secret what God can do.
What He's done for others, He'll do for you.
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do.

Mean Woman Blues lyrics - Elvis Presley

I got a woman,
Mean as she can be
I got a woman,
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me

A black cat up and died of fright
'Cause she crossed his path last night
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me

She kiss so hard, she bruise my lips
Hurts so good, my heart just flips
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me

The strangest gal I ever had
Never happy 'less she's mad
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me

She makes love without a smile
Ooh, hot dog that drives me wild
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me

(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear lyrics - Elvis Presley

Baby let me be
Your lovin' Teddy Bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be (oh let him be)
Your teddy bear

I don't wanna be a tiger
Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
'Cause lions ain't the kind
You love enough

I just wanna be
Your Teddy Bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be (oh let him be)
Your Teddy Bear

Oh baby let me be
Around you every night
Run your fingers through my hair
And cuddle me real tight
Oh let me be (oh let him be)
Your Teddy Bear

I don't wanna be a tiger
Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
Cause lions aren't the kind
You love enou-ou-ou-ough

Just wanna be your Teddy Bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be (oh let him be)
Your teddy bear
Oh let me be (oh let him be)
(Your teddy bear)
I just wanna
Be your Teddy Bear (ooh)

Loving You lyrics - Elvis Presley

(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
I will spend my whole life through
loving you, loving you.
Winter, summer, spring-time, too,
loving you, loving you.
Makes no difference where I go or what I do.
You know that I'll always be loving you.

If I'm seen with someone new,
don't be blue, don't be blue.
I'll be faithful I'll be true;
always true, true to you.
There is only one for me, and you know who.
You know that I'll always be loving you.

Got A Lot O' Livin' To Do lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Loving You" soundtrack)

Oh yes I've got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
Come on baby, to make it fun it takes two
Oh yes I've got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

There's a moon that's big and bright in the milky way tonight
But the way you act you never would know it's there
So baby, time's a wasting
A lot of kisses I ain't been tasting
I don't know about you but I'm gonna get my share

Oh got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
Come on baby, to make it fun it takes two
Oh yes I've got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

There's a balmy little breeze
That's whistling through the trees
And it's telling you to pitch a little woo with me
Why don't you take a listen
You'll never know what you've been missing
Cuddle up a little closer and be my little honey bee

Oh got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
Come on baby, to make it fun it takes two
Oh yes I've got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

You're the prettiest thing I've seen
But you treat me so doggone mean
Ain't you got no heart, I'm dying to hold you near
Why do you keep me waiting
Why don't you start co-operating
And the things I say are things you want to hear

Oh got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
Come on baby, to make it fun it takes two
Oh yes I've got a lot o' living to do
A whole lot o' loving to do
And there's no one who I'd rather do it with-a than you

Lonesome Cowboy lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Loving You" soundtrack)

I am just a lonesome cowboy
And I'm travelling all alone
I ain't even got a nickel
To call my baby on the phone

Just beyond the mountain lies a city
And I hear it calling me
Saddle up and ride you lonesome cowboy
Here is where you'll find your destiny
In my dreams the lights shine bright and pretty
Near to me and yet so far
Will I always be a lonesome cowboy
Am I only reaching for a star

Ride. Ride, ride, ride along cowboy
Sing, sing, sing, sing a song cowboy

Will I ever leave this lonesome valley
Really see the lights that shine
Gotta find what lies beyond the mountain
Gotta rope and tie that dream of mine

I am just a lonesome cowboy
And I'm travelling all alone
If you don't call me baby
Then I'm never coming home

Hot Dog lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Loving You" soundtrack)

Hot dog, you say you're really coming back
Hot dog, I'm waiting at the railway track
Hot dog, you say you're coming home for good
Hot dog, I'm going to keep knocking on wood
And baby, I can hardly wait
I'm gonna meet you at the gate, hot dog

I fell in love with you and then you went away
But now you're coming home to stay
Hot dog, soon everything will be all right
Hot dog, we're gonna have a ball tonight
I've got a pocketful of dimes
It's gonna be just like old times, hot dog

You went away and every day was misery
But now you're coming back to me
Hot dog, my heart is gonna go insane
Hot dog, when you come walking off the train
Oh how lonely I have been
But when that Santa Fe pulls in
Hot dog, baby, baby, hot dog

Party lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Loving You" soundtrack)

I feel it in my leg,
I feel it in my shoe
Tell me pretty baby
If you think you feel it too
Let's have a party
Let's have a party
Send to the store
And let's buy some more
And let's have a party tonight

Some people like to rock
Some people like to roll
But movin' and a groovin'
Gonna satisfy my soul

I've never kissed a bear
I've never kissed a goon
But I can shake a chicken
In the middle of the room

Now Honky Tonky Joe
Is knockin' at the door
Bring him in and fill him up
And set him on the floor

Blueberry Hill lyrics - Elvis Presley

I found my thrill on blueberry hill
On blueberry hill when I found you
The moon stood still on blueberry hill
And lingered until my dreams came true

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be

Tho' we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on blueberry hill

True Love lyrics - Elvis Presley

(from "Loving You" soundtrack)

Suntanned, windblown, honeymooners at last alone
Feeling far above par, oh how lucky we are
While I give to you and you give to me
True love, true love
So, on and on it will always be
True love, true love
For you and I have a guardian angel on high
With nothing to do but to give to you
And to give to me love forever true

Don't Leave Me Now lyrics - Elvis Presley

Don't leave me now
Now that I need you
How blue and lonely I'd be
If you should say we're through

Don't break my heart
This heart that loves you
They'll just be nothing for me
If you should leave me now
(Don't leave me now)

What good is dreamin'
If I must dream all alone by myself
Without you darling
My arms would gather dust
Like a book on a shelf

Come to these arms
These arms that need you
Don't close your eyes to my plea
Don't leave me now

Don't close your eyes to my plea
Don't you leave me now
(Don't you leave me now)
