You can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was a love to stay

The girl I loved, she up and left me
She ran away with my best friend
She comes home at night a just one full hour
When daylight comes, oh no, she's a gone again

You can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was a love to stay

Life without love is mighty еmpty yeah, but confession
Do ya know, do ya know confession good for your soul, baby?
I'd rathеr have love that I can cling to
Than I had the world and all of its gold

You can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway
She only wanted someone to play with
But all I wanted was a love to stay

You can have her, I don't want her
She didn't love me anyway

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.
