Where Do You Come From?

Rating: 3.2 Stars3.2 Stars3.2 Stars3.2 Stars
Words & Music: Ruth Batchelor/ Bob Roberts
Where do you come from?
Tell me who you are
Do you come from another world
Or from some distant star?

Where do you come from?
Are you what you seem?
Are you real,
Are you standing there,
Or is it just a dream?

Tell me more about yourself
Do you feel the way I feel?
Are you just a vision,
Or are you really real?

Where do you come from?
Angel won't you say?
Tell me all that there is to know
And tell me that you'll stay.
Recorded: 1962/03/27, first released on Girls! Girls! Girls!

I am surprised by some of the negitive comments. I think its a good simple song, sung beautifully by Elvis. Wonderful sensitivity and smoothness in those vocals.

This B-side must have been a disappointment at the time after great B-sides like 'Anything thats part of you', 'Just tell her Jim said hello' and 'Little sister'. The delivery is certainly for Elvis standards not entirely convincing but that must have to do with the bizarre lyrics of this song. Two stars from me.

An uninspired ballad which found it's way onto the back of an Elvis classic, Return to Sender. Not in the same league as the rest of the RCA B sides of the early to mid 1960s.

Pretty boring song. Not up to the standard of other movie ballads. Words maybe are too corny perhaps. Do you come from another world Or from some distant star? Really?

A very slow ballad recorded for the movie "Girls! Girls! Girls!", but not included in the film. It did appear on the soundtrack LP and as the B-side of "Return To Sender" and while nicely rendered, it is a little dull compared to Elvis' great movie ballads.

Love it, just right for a 'b' side. Dosn't take any limelight away for the a-side, which was great.

When I bought the RTS single I was very happy with the A side, but I thought this was the worst Elvis B side up until that time. I still dont like this song. Leaves me cold.
