[Verse]
I'm playing for keeps
This time it's real
And I want you to know
Exactly how I feel

I'm playing for keeps
For sure this time
And I won't be happy
Until I know you're mine

[Chorus]
There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else
Can thrill me like you do

I'm playing for keeps
Oh, love me too
Oh, don't make me sorry
That I fell in love with you

[Chorus]
There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else
Can thrill me like you do

I'm playing for keeps
Oh, love me too
Oh, don't make me sorry
That I fell in love with you (in love with you)

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.
