[Verse]
I was the one who taught her to kiss
The way that she kisses you now
And you know the way she touches your cheek
Well, I taught her how

I was the one who taught her to cry
When she wants you under her spell
The sight of her tears drives you out of your mind
I taught her so well

[Pre-Chorus]
And then one day
I had my love as perfect as could be
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried
And it was all for me

[Chorus]
I'll never know who taught her to lie
Now that it's over and done
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
I was the one

[Pre-Chorus]
And then one day
I had my love as perfect as could be
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried
And it was all for me

[Chorus]
I'll never know who taught her to lie
Now that it's over and done
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
I was the one

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.
