No matter who I'm dreaming with honey you start walking in my sleep
Then I wake up and startin' makin' up a lie why I should leave
Like an old time friend I squeeze her hand and I walk away unsatisfied
Another try another cry another hand shakin' goodbye
I laughed a lot with Mary Ann I cried with Melody
And Rose Marie was more than just a little close to Jerry Lee
I can't count the hearts I've stepped on because of loving her
Another try another cry another hand shakin' goodbye

I laughed a lot with Mary Ann I cried with Melody
And Rose Marie was more than just a little close to Jerry Lee
I can't count the hearts I've stepped on because of loving her
Another try another cry another hand shakin' goodbye

Another try another cry another hand shakin' goodbye (have mercy baby)

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.
