Words & Music: Dallas Frazier/ A.L. Owens
I had to leave town for a little while,
You said you'd be good while I'm gone,
But the look in your eye dun told me you told a lie,
I know there's been some carryin' on.

Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look, Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop
Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look.

The ash trays are all full of ashes,
The floor needs a touch of the mop,
There's a man downstairs with a long bushy hair,
He said your party was a three day rock.

Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look, Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop
Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look.

Baby if you ever loved me,
Then Bonnie and Clyde loved the law,
Well a bird can't fly and I don't like apple pie,
And trees won't grow in Arkansas.

Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look, Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop
Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look.

I had to leave town for a little while,
You said you'd be good while I'm gone,
But the look in your eye dun told me you told a lie,
I know there's been some carryin' on.

Well - Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look,
Yeah - Baby, You're wearin' that loved on look
Yeah - Baby
Recorded: 1969/01/13, first released on From Elvis in Memphis

Words fail me [for once] good, very good, fab, great, seems everyone else has said all that can be said. I remember buying the album the day of it's release & how lucky i was to get it as the record store only ordered a limited number. As for the track being a single, yes, i agree, then again any of the memphis tracks were good enough to be a single. I have all the Elvis is Back & From Elvis in Memphis & Elvis, Back in Memphis tracks burn't onto my Mp3 player in one file, now there's a great set of recordings, i never skip any of the tracks from this file.

This song kicks ass! (My shortest comment to date, but says all you need to know!)

I always thought that "Wearin' that Loved on Look" b/w "Power of my Love" could have been a "powerful double A single" for Elvis. Another over looked, good single choice-would have been "Only the Strong survive -b/w- Gentle on my Mind". The "From Elvis in Memphis" album and later "Elvis-Back in Memphis" are songs from a great recording session and Elvis, at his best !

A gem on an album that is a gem altogether. The drive and spirit of the song is so well performed that one feels drawn into the song. Like in many songs of that album!

What a great track to kick off a great album.

Fantatic song! I love the whole album this is the greatest record that Elvis recorded in his life this along with the 68 comback special. You wanna hear the real Presley listen to those two. The greatest signer in the whole world he was and here's to prove it.

LOVE THIS SONG. When I first brought the From Elvis in Memphis album around 1985 i was astonished by the fresh and rocking sound of this very first music of that disc. Since then I just felt in love with it and still going strong my affection. And the outtakes you find in the America Crow Jewels Import... that bass, FAN TAS TIC!

If you don't like this as an Elvis fan ? What else is there to say ? It was a great session and this is a great song !

superb opening track from a superb album. The movie years stripped away as the king of rock n roll returns. Can never tire of listening to this or this album. If Elvis had produced music like this throughout the sixties then the overrated Beatles wouldn't have stood a chance.

From the best LP since Elvis Is Back. In fact hearing this track for the first time made me think Elvis is back again!! Just imagine if Elvis was releasing studio albums of this caliber throughout the 60's instead of those crappy soundtracks and making an apperance or 2 on TV along the way. The Beatles and Elvis would be fighting it out in the charts all the time. If only. Great song, great!

One of many highlights on "From Elvis In Memphis". The album was really good, his best since "Elvis is back"

The band from the American studio gave Elvis a second life as far as recording was concerned. Too bad they never got back all together again after these '69 sessions...
