[Verse 1]
As I walk along, I wonder
What went wrong with our love
Our love that was so strong

And as I still walk by
I think off the times we've had together
While our hearts were young

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a-walking in the rain
Hear it falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery

[Chorus]
And I wonder
(I, I, I, I wonder)
Yo, baby
Why?
(Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?)

[Verse 2]
You went away
And I wonder where you will stay
My little runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Outro]
You went away and I wonder where you will stay
My little runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway
Run, run, run, run, runaway

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.
