Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Bill Rice Jerry Foster

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

Search the corners of your precious heart and if you find something there
And there's anyway to call it love and we still got a prayer
I've got more love for you sweetheart than you'll ever find again
So before you close that door on me think about it darlin'

Think about it darlin', give yourself a little time
Consider all you mean to me and you might change your mind
Mhm, I haven't been the kind of man you wanted me to be
But if you stay'll darlin' I'll try to change, don't give up on Jerry Lee

Lord things were good between us once I know they could be again
And there's nothing good about goodbye think about it darlin'
(There's nothing good about goodbye), think about it darlin'

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.
