[Intro]
I told her to leave me alone
That's what she's done
Just what she's done

[Verse 1]
And a house built for two, ain't a home
When it's lived in by one, one lonely one
And I can no longer hear footsteps
Come right down the hall

Here come the teardrops
Bitter they are, harder they fall

[Verse 2]
She caught me lying
Then she caught a train
And I caught a fever
Walking home in the rain, oh yeah

But it's over and I'm done
She left me once and for all

[Verse 3]
Here come the teardrops
Bitter they are, harder they fall
Here come the teardrops
Bitter they are, harder they fall

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.
