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
