Being the humanitarian, I am
I'd like to turn-a the whole world on
It wouldn't take much, just the touch of you
Honey, I believe you could do no wrong

I'd like-a to give everyone, one of you
You could show this old crazy world
What love can do
If every man had someone like you
To make love with, tonight
A-there'd be no more, a-trouble or war
They'd all be too weak to fight

Being the kind of person you are
You could make a lot of dreams come true
Although you're all I need, girl
I wish I had a million more like you

I'd like-a to give everyone, one of you
You could show this old crazy world
What love can do
If every man could have someone like you
To make love with, tonight
Darlin', there'd be no more, trouble or war
They'd all be too weak to fight

There'd be no more, a-trouble or war
They'd be too weak to fight

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.
