[Verse 1]
You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

[Verse 2]
No, you don't know the one
Who thinks of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
To you I am just a friend
And that's all I've ever been
No, you don't know me

[Verse 3]
For I never knew the art of making love
No, my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

[Verse 4]
You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
To never, never know
The one who loves you so
No, you don't know me

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.
