[Chorus]
Who wants to buy a heart, oh yeah
One broken lover's heart
One broken heart for sale?

[Verse 1]
Well, excuse me if you see me crying like a baby
Since she rejected me
There's nothing left to save me, yeah

[Chorus]
Who wants to buy a heart, oh yeah
One broken lover's heart
One broken heart for sale?

[Verse 2]
Well, she would not listen to the things my heart was saying
She turned and walked away
And told me I was playing

[Outro]
Some guys have all the luck
And my heart hasn't any
I think I'll paint a sign
"For sale for a penny"

Who wants to buy a heart, oh yeah
One broken lover's heart, mm oh
One broken heart for sale?

Who wants to buy a heart, my ol' heart
One broken lover's heart, oh yeah
One broken heart for sale?

Who wants to buy a heart, oh yeah
One broken lover's heart, oh yeah
One broken heart for sale?

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.
