Blue Suede ShoesWell it's one for the money, two for the showThree to get ready, now go cat go

But don't you step on my blue suede shoesYou can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well you can knock me down, step in my faceSlander my name all over the placeDo anything that you want to do but lay off of my shoes

And don't you step on my blue suede shoesYou can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes

Well blue, blue, blue suede shoesBlue, blue, blue suede shoesBlue, blue, blue suede shoesBlue, blue, blue suede shoesYou can do anything but stay off of my blue suede, play it again

Blue, blue, blue suede shoesBlue, blue, blue suede shoesBlue, blue, blue suedeYou can do anything but stay off of my blue suede shoes

I just might turn into smokeBut I feel fine, yeah

Cause your kisses lift me higherLike the sweet song of my choirAnd you light my mornin' skyWith burning love

It's comin' closerThe flames are now reachin' my bodyPlease won't you help meI feel like I'm slippin' awayIt's hard to breathe and my chest is a heavingLord Almighty, I'm burning a hole where I lay

Cause your kisses lift me higherLike the sweet song of my choirAnd you light my morning sky with burning loveBurning love, burning love, burning love, burning love

I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' loveI'm just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' loveI'm just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' loveI'm just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' loveI'm just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' loveI'm just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' loveI'm just a hunk, a hunk of burnin' love

 

 

 

FeverNever know how much I love yaNever know how much I careBut when you put your arms around meI get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever when you kiss meFever when you hold me tightFever in the mornin'Fever all through the nightSun lights up the daytimeMoon lights up the nightI light up when you call my nameCause I know you're gonna treat me right

You give me fever when you kiss meFever when you hold me tight

3

Page 4: Lyrics Elvis Presley

Fever in the mornin'Fever all through the night

Captain Smith and PocahantasHad a very mad affairWhen her daddy tried to kill himShe said, "Daddy, oh don't you dareHe gives me fever with his kissesFever when he holds me tightFever and daddy, won't you treat him right"

Now you've listened to my storyHere's the point that I have madeCats were born to give you feverBe it Fahrenheit or centigradeWe're given you fever, when we kiss youFever if you live and learnFever till you sizzle

What a lovely way to burnWhat a lovely way to burnWhat a lovely way to burn

 

 

 

Its OverIf time were not a moving thingAnd I could make it stayThis hour of love we shareWould always beThere'd be no comin' day To shine a morning lightMake us realize our night is over

When you walk away from meThere is no place to put my handExcept to shade my eyes against the sunThat rises over the landI watch you walk awaySomehow I have to let you goCause it's over

If you knew just how I really feelYou might return and yetThere are so many timesThat people have to love and then forgetOh there might have been a way somehowI have to force myself to say

4

Page 5: Lyrics Elvis Presley

It's over

So I turn my backTurn my collar to the windMove along in silenceTrying not to think at allI set my feet before meWalk the silent street before meNow it's over

If time were not a moving thingAnd I could make it stayThis hour of love we shareWould always beThere'd be no coming day To shine a morning lightMake us realize our night is over

It's over, oh, oh!

My Baby Left Me

(words & music by Arthur Crudup)

Yes my baby left me, never said a word.Was it something I done, something that she heard?My baby left me,my baby left me.My baby even left me,never said a word.Now I stand at my window,wring my hands and cry.I hate to lose that woman,hate to say goodbye.You know she left me,yes, she left me.My baby even left me,never said a word.Baby, one of these mornings,Lord, it won't be long,You'll look for me and,Baby, and daddy he'll be gone.You know you left me,you know you left me.My baby even left me,never said a word.Now, I stand at my window,wring my hands and moan.All I know is that the one I love is gone.My baby left me, you know she left me.My baby even left me,never said a word.

Anything That's Part Of You

(words & music by Don Robertson)

I memorize the note you sentGo all the places that we wentI seem to search the whole day throughFor anything that's part of youI kept a ribbon from your hairA breath of perfume lingers thereIt helps to cheer me when I’m blueAnything that's part of youOh, how it hurts to miss you soWhen I know you don't love me anymoreTo go on needing youKnowing you don't need meNo reason left for me to liveWhat can I take, what can I giveWhen I’d give all of someone newFor anything that's part of you

Anyway You Want Me

(words & music by A. Schroeder and C. Owens)

I'll be a strong as a mountain,Or weak as a willow tree,Anyway you want me,That's how I will be.

13

Page 14: Lyrics Elvis Presley

I'll be a tame as a baby,Or wild as the raging sea,Anyway you want me,That's how I will be.In your hand my heart is clay,To take a mold as you may.I'm what you make me, you've only to take me,And in your arms I will stay.I'll be a fool or a wise man,My darling you hold the key,Yes, anyway you want me,That's how I will be,I will be.

Are You Lonesome Tonight?

(words & music by Roy Turk and Lou Handman)

Are you lonesome tonight,do you miss me tonight?Are you sorry we drifted apart?Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny dayWhen I kissed you and called you sweetheart?Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?I wonder if you're lonesome tonightYou know someone said that the world's a stageAnd each must play a part.Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glanceYou read your line so cleverly and never missed a cueThen came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strangeAnd why I'll never know.Honey, you lied when you said you loved meAnd I had no cause to doubt you.But I'd rather go on hearing your liesThan go on living without you.Now the stage is bare and I'm standing thereWith emptiness all aroundAnd if you won't come back to meThen make them bring the curtain down.Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?

Harbor Lights

(words & music by H. Williams - J. Kennedy)

I saw the harbor lightsThey only told me we were partingThose same old harbor lightsThat once brought you to me.I watched the harbor lightsHow could I help it?Tears were starting.Good-bye to golden nights Beside the silvery seas.I long to hold you dear,And kiss you just once more.But you were on the ship,And I was on the shore.Now I know lonely nightsFor all the while my heart keeps prayingThat someday harbor lightsWill bring you back to me.
