[Verse]
I look at you and, wham, I'm head over heels
I guess that love is a banana peel
I feel so bad, and yet I'm feeling so well
I slipped, I stumbled, I fell

One crazy kiss and, bam, I head for the skies
I guess that love is like a cake of ice
You skate along, but then you can never tell
I slipped, I stumbled, I fell

[Pre-Chorus]
I never thought I'd get kicked by your sweet talking lies
You got a bag of tricks
And when you got busy, I got dazzled and dizzy
I fell like a ton of bricks

[Chorus]
My knees are weak, my head is spinning around
I guess that love has turned me upside down
Thought I'd get hurt, but gee, it's turning out swell
I slipped, I stumbled, I fell

[Pre-Chorus]
I never thought I'd get kicked by your sweet talking lies
You got a bag of tricks
And when you got busy, I got dazzled and dizzy
I fell like a ton of bricks

[Chorus]
My knees are weak, my head is spinning around
I guess that love has turned me upside down
Thought I'd get hurt, but gee, it's turning out swell
I slipped, I stumbled, I fell
I slipped, I stumbled, I fell

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.
