She Still Comes Around (To Love What’s Left of Me)Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Glenn Sutton

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

I know I'm not a perfect husband although I'd like to be
But payday nights and those painted women they do strange things to me
But then when the party's over and the good is all she sees
Though I let her down she still comes around just to love what's left of me

Six days out of seven I work hard at doing right
But believe me you could set your watch on any Friday night
But then I'm lucky she understands and the fool that lives in me
Though I let her down she still comes around to love what's left of me

The way I'm living it's a wonder she can take it
But that woman she's got a heart of gold it's justing me to break it
I know I don't deserve her but I'm thankful as can be
And though I let her down she still comes around just to love what's left of me
And though I let her down she still comes around just to love what's left of me

Jerry Lee Lewis

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.
