[Verse 1]
Her eyes tell the story so well
She tries hard to hide
So little expected
Too often neglected
A woman stripped of her pride

[Verse 2]
Always so careful not to cry
Until I fall asleep
And there in the silence
She lies with a tear on her cheek

[Bridge]
The thought comes to mind
That I've failed somehow
For things I can't quite recall

A man without love is only half a man
But a woman is nothing at all

She knows I don't love her
Although Heaven knows I've tried
Her reason for living
Is to go right on giving
The one thing that she's been denied

Without any warning
In the wee hours of the morning
She cries
The hurt deep inside she tries so to hide
Is beginning to show in her eyes

And a thought comes to mind that I've relive sometimes
For here it I can't quite recall

[Outro]
That a man without love's only half a man
But a woman is nothing at all
Yeah, a man without love's only half a man
But a woman is nothing at all

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.
