Oh break it, burn it, drag it all around
Twist it, turn it, you can't tear it down
Cos' every minute, every hour you'll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love

Crush it, kick it, you can never win
I know baby you can't lick it
I'll make you give in
Every minute, every hour you'll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love

Baby I want you, you'll never get away
My love will haunt you yes haunt you night and day
Touch it, pound it, what good does it do
There's just no stoppin' the way I feel for you
Cos' every minute, every hour you'll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love

Yeh, yeh, baby I want you, you'll never get away
My love will haunt you yes haunt you night and day
Touch it, pound it, what good does it do
There's just no stoppin' the way I feel for you
Cos' every minute, every hour you'll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love

I said every minute, every hour you'll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love

Every minute, every hour you'll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love
Recorded: 1969/02/18, first released on From Elvis in Memphis

A quality album from an amazing album, arguably the best studio album produced by the King. Play it loud and proud! AWESOME!

This song prove that Elvis could be as good as he was in the fifties if not even better Anyone who judge Elvis by listening to his movie track and say that he died when he goes to the army are so wrong He was just as powerful as he was earlier.

You can imagine this being sung in a smoky room,dark lights,gravelly floor. Pure atmosphere, pure grit, pure power, Pure Elvis Presley, the King of any style of music he Chooses to pound out... TCB

Without a doubt, a great song !! As pointed out, Elvis at his Best !!! The "original Memphis album, had so many possibilities.. for hit singles.. and RCA, only released "In the Ghetto/Any Day Now" off of the album.. Later RCA upgraded the album, with "Don't Cry Daddy" "Suspicious Minds" etc.. So many hit singles that never happened.. because RCA, didn't work the album to Radio... "Power of my Love" "Wearin' that Loved on Look".. "Only the Strong survive" to name a few..

this is my favorite Elvis song of all time!! Was waiting for this one to get reviewed>>>>>dont know why RCA never even made a single release for this song. Listening to this song I can envision Elvis at American Sound getting down and dirty with this kick-butt song!Way to go my man!

Unbelievable this fantastic track came from the same people that delivered Elvis “classics” such as “Shake That Tambourine” and “Queenie Wahine's Papaya”!

The best song from the Memphis LP and would have been a monster single in 1969. Maybe even now! Why do I say that? Whenever I play this song for non-Elvis fans, they love it. The best song ever from Giant/Baum/Kaye. Simply powerful.

As much as I like the Elvis in Memphis album with it's mixture of soul and country. I usually skip this track.

What a way to begin the B Side of "From Elvis in Memphis" LP! Love that strength and that power!

A beat very different from what Elvis got us used to hear. Marvelous result !

My personal favourite of the '69 sessions. I love it from the first to the last second, being it the slower or the faster version. Every second, every minute I'm shaken by the strength and mighty power of this song!
