Released: July 1, 1973

Songwriter: Gordon Lightfoot

Producer: Felton Jarvis

[Chorus]
That's what you get for loving me
That's what you get for loving me
Everything we had is gone, you can see
That's what you get for loving me

[Verse 1]
Now don't you shed a tear for me
I ain't the love you thought I'd be
I've had a hundred just like you
But don't be blue I'll have a thousand before I'm through

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Now there you go, you're cryin' again
You should have known how things would end

But then some day when your poor heart is on the mend
I just might pass this way again

[Chorus] [2x]

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.
