[Verse 1]
Get up in the morning, feeling mighty weak
A-tossing and a-turning well, I ain't had no sleep
Oh baby, what road's our love taking?
To romance or heartbreaking
Won't you say which way you're gonna go
I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know

[Verse 2]
Nine and nine make fourteen, four and four make nine
The clock is striking thirteen I think I lost my mind
You know it's getting aggravating
How long can I keep waiting?
Tell me if you love me, yes or no
I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know

[Bridge]
Oh, how much I need you
Have pity on this heart of mine
Well, if you need and want me too
I'll be your one and only till the end of time

[Verse 4]
Saw the fortune teller, had my fortune read
She sent me to the doctor, who sent me straight to bed
He said I'm lonesome and I'm lovesick
I've got my mind on lipstick
Will you kiss away my cares and woe?
I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know

[Bridge]
Oh, how much I need you
Have pity on this heart of mine
Well, if you need and want me too
I'll be your one and only till the end of time

[Verse 4]
Saw the fortune teller, had my fortune read
She sent me to the doctor, who sent me straight to bed
He said I'm lonesome and I'm lovesick
I've got my mind on lipstick
Will you kiss away my cares and woe?
I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know

(I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know)
(I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know)
(I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know)

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.
