Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley is, of course, the acknowledged King of contemporary music. Whichever version of The King we choose to remember, whether it's the dynamic, gyrating upstart who took the world by storm in 1956, the charismatic and underrated actor who appeared in over 30 successful feature films or the extraordinary stage presence that was his Las Vegas live performances in the Seventies, it's clear there was and will only ever be one "King".

Stop where you are
Don't move an inch
Don't come any closer now, baby
You'll be in a pinch
Don't start what you can't finish
I warn you what's in store
If it's love you're looking to get
You're gonna get what you're looking for
Stop where you are
You'd better freeze
Don't pull the fire now, baby
Don't be a tease
Don't start what you can't finish
I told you once before
If it's love you're looking to get
You're gonna get what you're looking for
Don't you know, you're walking on dangerous ground
Listen, babe, when I make love
I just don't fool around, no, I don't
I just don't play around
Stop where you are
Just take it slow
Once I put my hands on you, baby
I won't let you go
Don't start what you can't finish
One kiss and I want more

You're gonna get what you're looking for

When I was a little bitty boy
Sittin' on my papa's knee
I still remember every word my papa said to me
"Now boy, if you ever meet
A pretty woman walking down the street
You'd better stop real still, look both ways
Listen or you'll get in trouble"
"When you see her go struttin' by
Giving you that evil eye
And she's got a kind of dreamy look"
Just enough to get you shook"
"Now boy, don't you lose your head
You pay attention what your papa said
You'd better stop real still, look both ways
Listen or you'll get in trouble"
Alright
She'll drive you crazy with the way she walks
She'll drive you crazy with the way she talks
And you'll think you're gonna lose your mind
'Cause that pretty woman looks so fine
And the very first thing you'll know
You'll be tellin' her you love her so
You'd better stop real still.

Ive been standing on a corner
Since a quarter after seven
I was down to my last cigarette
And the clock in the window
At a quarter to eleven
I was watching all the people
Passing by me going places
Just the loneliest guy in the town
Looking for a friendly smile
But all I see were faces
And then, just like the taste of milk and honey
I found the stranger Ive been looking for
Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more
The love that comes on the corner
At a quarter to eleven
I thought you were to good to be true
All my life I had believed
That angels only live in heaven
But now, we share the taste of milk and honey
Each day is sweeter than the day before
My cup runned overflowing
Because the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more
Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing
I found the stranger Ive been looking for
Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing
I knew the stranger in the crowd
And I would be stranger no more

Summer kisses, Winter tears
That was what she gave to me
Never thought that I'd travel all alone
The trail of memories
Happy hours, lonely years
But I guess I can't complain
For I still recall the Summer sun
Through all the Winter rain
The fire of love, the fire of love
Can burn from afar
And nothing can light the dark of the night
Like a falling star
Summer kisses, Winter tears
Like the stars they fade away
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday
The fire of love, the fire of love
Can burn from afar
And nothing can light the dark of the night
Like a falling star
Summer kisses, Winter tears
Like the stars they fade away
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights

Burning with a strange desire
And I know, each time I kiss you
That your hearts on fire too

Let us take this night of magic
And make it a night of love
Wont you please surrender to me

Every time you kiss me I'm still not certain that you love me
Every time you hold me I'm still not certain that you care
Though you keep on saying you really, really, really love me
Do you speak the same words to someone else when I'm not there.
Suspicion torments my heart,
Suspicion keeps us apart,
Suspicion why torture me.
Every time you call me and tell me we should meet tomorrow
I can't help but think that you're meeting someone else tonight,
Why should our romance just keep on causing me such sorrow?
Why am I so doubtful whenever you're out of sight?
Suspicion torments my heart,
Suspicion keeps us apart,
Suspicion why torture me.
Darling, if you love me, I beg you wait a little longer,
Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind,
How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger,
Maybe I'm suspicious 'cause true love is so hard to find.
Suspicion torments my heart,

It's no use trying to disguise
My love for you, Angeline, has ended

These long lonely evenings
Here I am on the phone wondering if she will call
She said she would write me 'cause she knows I'm alone
But I hear nothing at all
I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia
You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia
But when I'm with her Lord, I forgive her
'Cause she's more than the whole world to me
There's nothing like a word of love from Sylvia
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
If I just had my Sylvia with me
That old weeping willow seems to whisper her name
Why did she go away
The tears on my pillow they're not hard to explain
There's nothing else I can say
I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia
You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia
But when I'm with her Lord, I forgive her
