Tribute to Elvis

Teddy Bear, oh Teddy Bear
You want me to stop trying to care?
hard-headed woman, don’t be cruel
I am stuck on you, like a fool

That weekend we spent in the Heartbreak Hotel
You were my good luck charm, put me under your spell
Remember the Kentucky rain? I told you to follow that dream?
I guess I was not in it, you left me sewn in a seam.

I found myself wallowing in the ghetto with burning love
A hound dog, a fool, a man who has no thoughts of above
My little sister tried to rescue me, you remember Mavis?
She reminded me about our movie called Viva Las Vegas

Anyway, you want me, I am ready to be taken away
If I can dream of anything, it is our bond, okay?
Memories of us is all I have left right now
can’t help falling in love with you since we had Moscow

My new goal is for you to love me tender and true.
We could watch American Trilogy, it is brand new.
