Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Huey “Piano” Smith Jerry Lee Lewis

Ev'rything I say, is wrong
Ev'ry'thing I do, goes wrong
My honey's tellin' me, 'So long'
What am I gonna do?
'Cause there's just no more dreams you dream
No more tears to cry-hi-hi
Nothin' left to say, but
Baby baby, bye bye
I once was your sweetheart
Now you found a new sweetheart
Hate to see ya break my heart
But if you must go, then go
'Cause there's just no more dreams to dream
No more tears to cry-hi-hi
Nothin' left to say but
Baby baby, bye bye
('Cause there's just, no more dreams to dream)
(No more tears to cry)
(Nothin' left to say but)
(Baby baby, bye bye)
I'll do my best to, get by
I'll do my best to, get by
I'll love you'til I die
Here all left along
'Cause just no more dreams to dream
No more tears to cry-hi-hi
Nothin' left to say but
Baby baby, bye bye
Baby baby, bye bye

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.
