Words & Music: Rose Marie McCoy/ Kelly Owens
I don't want my heart to be broken
Cause it's the only one I've got
So darling please be careful
You know I care a lot
Darling please don't break my heart
I beg of you

I don't want no tears a-falling
You know I hate to cry
But that's what's bound to happen
I you only say goodbye
Darling please don't say goodbye
I beg of you

Hold my hand and promise
That you'll always love me true
Make me know you'll love me
The same way I love you little girl

You got me at your mercy
Now that I'm in love with you
So please don't take advantage
Cause you know my love is true
Darling please please love me too
I beg of you

Hold my hand and promise
That you'll always love me true
Make me know you'll love me
The same way I love you little girl

You got me at your mercy
Now that I'm in love with you
So please don't take advantage
Cause you know my love is true
Darling please please love me too
I beg of you
Recorded: 1957/02/23, first released on single

back in the 50's you buy an elvis single the b side was just as good. elvis was on top form. this great b side from don't is a great song. the alternate take found on the 50's masters is fab too equally as good.

A top 10 that often gets forgotten when listing Elvis' big hits, but don't let that fool you. This is one masterpiece of a record. Pefect blending of the Jordinaires and Elvis with Elvis on full throttle on the chorus. Great phrasing by Elvis and a superb choice as the flipside to the classic ballad "Don't". Record buyers in 1958 got a perfect Elvis single with this one.

Not a song thats very well know, but I like it. Very Elvis-y. I like the master, not the alternate takes.
