Mistakes I know I've made them and you don't know how much I hate them
But that's me darlin' and I don't guess ol' Jerry will ever change
And I don't mean to hurt you heaven knows I hate to hurt you
But here I am to ask forgiveness one more time
One more time I'll ask you to forgive me one more time I'll come crawling back to you
All I ask is a chance to show how much I love you so
Will you please take me back one more time

Oh one more time I'm gonna tell you that I'm sorry
But this time darlin' I'll go down on my bended knee
And I'll cry and beg forgiveness please won't give me your forgiveness
Will you please take me back one more time
Won't you please take me back just one more time

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.
