[Verse 1]
When I was little my mama said to me
"Someday you'll find a love, son, to last eternally"
I want you with me everywhere I go
(I want you with me, I want you with me)
(I want you with me, I want you with me)
No, please don't leave me, baby, I love you so
(I want you with me, baby, I want you with me)

[Verse 2]
I'll be the ruler of this whole wide world
If you will only say that you'll be my girl
I want you with me in everything I do
(I want you with me, I want you with me
I want you with me, I want you with me)
Well, you know I need you, baby, I'm in love with you
(I want you with me, baby, I mean it)

[Verse 3]
There is no mountain that I can't climb
You find the mountain, child, and I will find the time
I want you with me, with me night and day
(I want you with me, I want you with me
I want you with me, I want you with me)
Well, you can make me happy, baby, don't you go away
(I want you with me, baby, one more time)

[Verse 4]
I'll swim an ocean with a raging foam
If I know that you'll be there when I come back home
I want you with me, you know I love you so
(I want you with me, I want you with me
I want you with me, I want you with me)
Well, I want you with me baby, I'll never ever let you go
(I want you with me, baby, oh)

[Outro]
Yeah, I want you with me
(I want you with me, I want you with me)
I want you with me
(I want you with me, I want you with me)
Well, I want you with me baby, I'll never let you go
(I want you with me, baby, oh)

Elvis Presley

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.
