[Verse 1]
I've got something to tell you
That I think you ought to know
That my eyes are on you baby
Since a long time ago
And now I finally got the nerve
And I'm gonna make my move
Now don't you try to turn me off
Cause it's gonna be hard to do

[Chorus]
I've got a thing about you baby
Ain't nothing I can do
I've got a thing about you baby
A thing about loving you

[Verse 2]
Ain't it just like a woman
When she knows she's got a man
She'll wring you out and turn you about
In the palm of her hand
And then she starts to thinking
Then maybe she's put you in a blind
She'll give you just a little lovin'
It'll drive you out of your mind

[Chorus]

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.
