Don't you take it out on me
Don't you take it out on me
I don't love you can't you see
I'm living in misery oh baby oh oh oh baby

Don't you take it out on me
'Cause I'm not the one who broke your heart
When you told me you were leaving
I thought that you were only teasing

But I knew it from the start
Don't you take it out on me
Don't you take it out on me
I don't love you can't you see
I'm living in misery oh baby oh oh oh baby

Don't you take it out on me
I'm not the one who acted smart
I gave you all my love
And then some but a new love you did welcome

So come on baby have a heart
Don't you take it out on me
Don't you take it out on me
I don't love you can't you see
I'm living in misery oh baby oh oh oh baby

Don't you take it out on me
Don't you take it out on me
I don't love you can't you see
I'm living in misery

Don't you take it out on me
Don't you take it out on me
I don't love you can't you see
I'm living in misery

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.
