[Verse 1]
When was the last time you kissed me
And I don't mean a touch now and then
It's been a long time since you felt like my woman
Even longer since I felt like your man

[Chorus]
So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
Because if you don't want the love I can give you
Well, there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in

[Verse 2]
You never look at me and say, "I love you"
How much more do you think I can stand?
Oh, and there's an old friend out there and she's waiting
Lord, she's happy just holding my hand

[Chorus]
So tell me if you think it's over
And I'll leave it up to you how it ends
Because if you don't want the love I can give you
Well, there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in
Yes, there's a honky tonk angel who'll take me back in

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.
