Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Linda Gail Lewis Cecil J. Harrelson

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

I know the best years of your life you've given them to me
And without a man to lean on a happy future you can't see
But try to understand my youth is whipping by me day by day
So woman woman get out of my way

Woman woman please leave us alone
She gave me love and understanding when you were leavin' at home
You hurt my pride that way Lord she stood beside me every day
So woman oh woman get out of my way

Then years gone by I've tried to reach out and get a little love from you
But you know darlin' you were always too busy but more important things to do
Even though now too late you realize that you needed my love to stay
Well let me tell you somethin' woman woman get out of my way

Woman woman please leave us alone...
Woman woman get out of our way

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.
