[Verse 1]
Look out now, I'm running wild
There ain't no holding back this child
I guess you'd say I'm a son of a gun
Living just for a life of fun

[Break]
Here's the secret of my success
Never say yes, no, no, never say yes

[Verse 2]
Life has taught me one big lesson
Always keep the girl's guessing
Tell them that you love them so
You hate to leave but you got to go

[Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the oldest game in the world
And you got to know how to play it
Tell her yes in so many ways
But never ever say it

[Chorus]
And that's how I keep going on
Here today, tomorrow gone
That's the kind of life for me
Being free like I want to be

[Break]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
Now that's how I keep going on
Here today, tomorrow gone
And that's the kind of life for me
Being free like I want to be

[Outro]
Here's the secret of my success
Never say yes, no, no, never say yes
No, no, never say yes

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.
