I Beg of You

Elvis Presley · Elvis' Gold Records Vol. 2

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
