Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Cecil Null

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

You think you know the smile on her lips
The thrill at the touch of her fingertips
But I forgot more than you'll ever know about her

You think you'll find a heaven of bliss
In each caress and each tender kiss
But I forgot more than you'll ever know about her

You stole her love from me one day
You you didn't care how you hurt me
Well let me tell you somethin' son

There's one thing that you will never never never never steal away
Them ole mem'ries of what used to be
You think she's yours to have and to hold
Someday buddy you'll learn when her love grows cold
That I forgot more than you'll ever know about her

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.
