[Verse 1]
I'll go on loving you (loving you)
Don't ask me why (don't ask me why)
Don't know what else to do
Don't ask me why

[Verse 2]
How sad my heart would be (heart would be)
If you should go (if you should go)
Though you're not good for me
I want you so

[Verse 3]
It's not the kind
Of love I dream about
But it's the kind
That I can't live without

[Verse 4]
You're all I'm longing for (longing for)
Don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye)
I need you more and more
Don't ask me why
I need you more and more
Don't ask me why

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.
