I Beg of You

Elvis Presley · Loving You

I donÂ’t want my heart to be broken
Cause itÂ’s the only one IÂ’ve got
So darling please be careful
You know I care a lot
Darling please donÂ’t break my heart
I beg of you

I donÂ’t want no tears a-falling
You know I hate to cry
But thatÂ’s whatÂ’s bound to happen
I you only say goodbye
Darling please donÂ’t say goodbye
I beg of you

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

You got me at your mercy
Now that IÂ’m in love with you
So please donÂ’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 youÂ’ll always love me true
Make me know youÂ’ll love me
The same way I love you little girl

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

I Beg of You

Released on Elvis Presley's 1967 album Loving You, "I Beg of You" stands as a quintessential example of the King's mid-career transition from rock and roll to polished pop and R&B. Recorded with a lush, orchestral arrangement, the track showcases Presley's refined vocal control and emotional depth, moving away from the raw energy of his earlier hits. The song's melancholic tone and sophisticated production reflect the era's shift toward adult contemporary standards, cementing Presley's status as a versatile performer capable of navigating complex emotional landscapes. As a staple of his discography, the recording remains a defining moment in his later work, illustrating his ability to deliver timeless ballads that resonated deeply with audiences across generations.
