The way she walks, the way she talks
How long can I pretend?
Oh, I can't help it, I'm in love
With the girl of my best friend

Her lovely hair, her skin so fair
I could go on and never end
Oh, I can't help it, I'm in love
With the girl of my best friend

I want to tell her how I love her so
And hold her in my arms, but then
What if she got real mad and told him so?
I could never face either one again

The way they kiss, their happiness
Will my aching heart ever mend?
Or will I always be in love
With the girl of my best friend?

Never end
Will it ever end?
Please let it end
Will it ever end?

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.
