[Verse]
I need you so (I need you so)
To keep me happy
If I can't have you
I cannot go on (I can't go on)

I need your arms (I need your arms)
Around me tightly
Yes, I miss them nightly
When you're not at home (you're not at home)

[Pre-Chorus]
When the day is done
I miss you so
I lie and wait
To hear you knock upon the door (knock upon the door)

[Chorus]
When you leave me (when you leave me)
I try not to worry
Come back in a hurry (please, please come back)
'Cause I need you so (I need you so)

[Pre-Chorus]
When the day is done
I miss you so
I lie and wait
To hear you knock upon the door (knock upon the door)

[Chorus]
When you leave me (when you leave me)
I try not to worry
Come back in a hurry (please, please come back)
'Cause I need you so (I need you so)

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.
