[Verse 1]
Treat me like a fool
Treat me mean and cruel
But love me
Wring my faithful heart
Tear it all apart
But love me (won't you love me)

[Verse 2]
Well, if you ever go
Darling, I'll be oh, so lonely
I'll be sad and blue
Crying over you, dear only

[Chorus]
I would beg and steal (beg and steal)
Just to feel (just to feel)
Your heart (I want your heart)
Beating close to mine (so close to mine)

[Verse 3]
Well, if you ever go
Darling, I'll be oh, so lonely
I'll be sad and blue
Crying over you, dear only

[Chorus]
I would beg and steal (he would beg and steal)
Just to feel (yes, just to feel)
Your heart (I want your heart)
Beating close to mine (so close to mine)

[Verse 4]
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

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.
