[Verse 1]
You know what it takes, you got it, baby
You are the only one I chose
I got a feeling for you, baby
And you're the only one who knows

[Chorus]
About my troubles, troubles, troubles
When it rains, it really pours

When it rains, it really pours

[Verse 2]
You shouldn't have took away my love, dear
You know you thrill me from head to toe
You got what you wanted, now you left me
That's the way the story goes

[Chorus]
Well, I got troubles, troubles, troubles
When it rains, it really pours

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.
