[Verse 1]
I don't want my heart to be broken
'Cause it's the only one I've got
So darling, please be careful
You know I care a lot
Darling, please don't break my heart
I beg of you

[Verse 2]
I don't want no tears a-falling
You know I hate to cry
But that's what's bound to happen
If you would say goodbye
Darling, please don't say goodbye
I beg of you

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold my hand and promise
That you'll always love me true
Make me know you'll love me
The same way I love you, little girl

[Verse 3]
You got me at your mercy
Now that I'm in love with you
So please don't take advantage
Because you know my love is true
Darling, please please love me too
I beg of you

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold my hand and promise
That you'll always love me true
Make me know you'll love me
The same way I love you, little girl

[Verse 3]
You got me at your mercy
Now that I'm in love with you
So please don't take advantage
'Cause you know my love is true
Darling, please please love me too
I beg of you

Darling, please please love me too
I beg of you
Darling, please please love me too
I beg of you

Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
