You Went Out of Your Way (To Walk on Me)Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Paul Craft

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

You sat your sight on someone
Who belonged to someone else
Just to see if you could have the one you pleased

You weren't complete, until you got me
I lost her, and then you dropped me
You went out of your way to walk on me

You went out of your way to walk on me
You were reachin' for a soul that was not free, Yeah
With so many hearts for the takin', you chose mine for the breakin'
You went out of your way to walk on me

Yeah, you went out of your way to walk on me
You were reachin' for a soul that was not free
With so many hearts for the takin', you chose mine for the breakin'
You went out of your way to walk on me
Oh baby, you went out of your way to walk on me
Walk on baby!

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.
