[Verse 1]
If they say we were doing wrong
If they say we were out too long
Well, you can say
My arms were just too strong
Put the blame, put the blame on me

[Verse 2]
Felt so good when I held you tight
Couldn't stop when we kissed Goodnight
So if they tell us we don't heave the right
Put the blame, put the blame on me

[Verse 3]
What I feel is deep inside
This is real and I won't hide
Go ahead, use my name
I'll be proud to take the blame

[Verse 4]
You just did what I did you do
You love me and I love you too
So if the way they talk can bother you
Put the blame, put the blame on me

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.
