LYRICS:
The way she walks,
The way she talks
How long can I pretend
Oh I can't help it I'm in love
With the girl of my best friend
Her lovely hair,
Her skin so fair
I could go on and never end
Oh, I can't help it I'm in love
With the girl of my best friend
I want to tell her
How I love her so
And hold her in my arms, but then
What if she got real mad and told him so
I could never face either one again
The way they kiss
Their happiness
Will my ache-in' Heart ever end
Or will I always be in love
With the girl of my best friend?
Never end,
Will it ever end?
Please let it end
Elvis Aaron Presley[a] (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer, musician, and actor. One of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as "the King of Rock and Roll", or simply, "the King".
RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who was to manage the singer for more than two decades.
Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", released in January 1956, was a number-one hit in the US.
He became the leading figure of rock and roll
after a series of network television appearances and chart-topping
records.
His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative
performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences
across color lines that coincided with the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, he made his film debut in Love Me Tender.
In 1958, he was drafted into military service: He resumed his recording
career two years later, producing some of his most commercially
successful work before devoting much of the 1960s to making Hollywood
movies and their accompanying soundtrack albums, most of which were
critically derided.
In 1968, following a seven-year break from live
performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed televised
comeback special, Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas
concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours.
In 1973,
Presley was featured in the first globally broadcast concert via
satellite, Aloha from Hawaii. Several years of prescription drug abuse severely deteriorated his health, and he died in 1977 at the age of 42.
