It started in fun, I needed someone
And now the hurt has begun
I was lonely and it all started in fun
She had left me and I needed just anyone

So it happened to be you
Someone I can tell my troubles to
And now we've gone too far, the hurt has begun
And I can't trust me in your arms anymore

It's not just another thrill like before
Everytime your lips touch mine
We get closer all the time
And I can't trust me in your arms anymore

It started in fun, I needed someone
And now the hurt has begun
And I can't trust me in your arms anymore
Mm-mm, it's not just another thrill like before

Every time your lips touch mine
We get closer all the time
And I can't trust me in your arms anymore

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.
