[Verse 1]
Babe, you're getting closer
The lights are going dim
The sound of your breathing
Has made the mood I'm in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I've never been before

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, and I can feel it
Feel it, feel it, feel it

[Chorus]
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down

[Verse 2]
Ooh, my head is spinning
You got me in your spell
A hundred magic fingers
On a whirling carousel
The medicine within me
No doctor could prescribe
Your love is doing something
That I just can't describe

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Break]
Hold me again
Tight as you can
I need you so
Baby, let's go

[Chorus]

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.
