[Intro]
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby baby
Baby, baby baby, b-b-b-b-b-b baby baby, baby
Baby baby baby
Come back, baby, I wanna play house with you

[Verse 1]
Well, you may go to college
You may go to school
You may have a pink Cadillac
But don't you be nobody's fool

[Chorus]
Now baby
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you

[Verse 2]
Now listen and I'll tell you baby
What I'm talking about
Come on back to me, little girl
So we can play some house

[Chorus]
Now baby
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
Oh let's play house, baby

[Verse 3]
Now this is one thing, baby
That I want you to know
Come on back and let's play a little house
And we can act like we did before

[Chorus]
Well, baby
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby
I wanna play house with you
Hit it

[Break]
Yeah

[Verse 4]
Now listen to me, baby
Try to understand
I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man

[Chorus]
Now baby
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, come
Come back, baby, I wanna play house with you

[Outro]
Oh, baby baby baby
Baby baby baby b-b-b-b-b-b baby baby baby
Baby baby baby
Come back, baby, I wanna play house with you

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.
