Jerry Lee Lewis

Producer: Sam Phillips (Producer)

I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody else
You'll expect me to be true and to keep on loving you
Though I'm feeling blue
You'd think I can't forget you

Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
And though you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't, won't want you

Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm strong for somebody new
Although you don't want me now
I'll get along somehow
And then I won't, I won't want you

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
