[Verse 1]
Give me the right
To hold you tonight
The tears that I've cried over you
Give me the right

[Verse 2]
You can't say no
When I need you so
I want you back in my arms
Give me the right

[Verse 3]
If you looked deep in your heart
Like I looked into mine
You'll find that nothing has changed
Our love was there all the time

[Verse 4]
Why make me plead
For something you need?
I want to bring back the thrill
Give me the right

[Verse 4]
Why make me plead
For something you need?
I want to bring back the thrill
Give me the right

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.
