I Want You With Me

Elvis Presley · From Nashville To Memphis: The Essential 60's Masters [1993]

When I was little, my mama said to me

One day you'll find a love to last eternally

I want you with me everywhere I go

So please don't leave me baby, I love you so



I'll be the ruler of this whole wide world

If you will only say you'll be my girl

I want you with me in everything I do

You know I need you baby, I'm in love with you



There is no mountain that I can't climb

You find the mountain, child, and I'll find the time

I want you with me, with me night and day

Well, you can make me happy baby, don't you go away



I'll swim an ocean with a raging foam

If I know that you'll be there when I come back home

I want you with me, you know I love you so

Well, I want you with me baby, I'll never let you go

Well, I want you with me baby, I'll never let you go
