Playing for Keeps

Rating: 4 Stars4 Stars4 Stars4 Stars
Words & Music: Stanley A. Kesler
I'm playin' for keeps
This time it's real
And I want you to know
Exactly how I feel
I'm playin' for keeps
I'm sure this time
And I won't be happy
Until I know you're mine

There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else can thrill me like you do
I'm playin' for keeps
Oh love me too
Oh, don't make me sorry
That I fell in love with you

There have been others
That could love me true
But no one else can thrill me like you do
I'm playin' for keeps
Oh love me too
Oh, don't make me sorry
That I fell in love with you
Recorded: 1956/09/01, first released on single

Another underrated gem in the Elvis' 50's catalog of songs. The flipside of "Too Much", this ballad shows Elvis pouring his heart into the words and delivering it like no one else could. Much better than than most of the ballads that found their way onto his 2nd album and very similar to "Love Me", but a bit less commercial.
