Elvis Presley - I Was The One Lyrics






I was the one who taught her to kiss
The way that she kisses you now.
And you know the way she touches your cheek,
Well, I taught her how.

I was the one who taught her to cry
When she wants you under her spell.
The sight of her tears drives you out of your mind,
I taught her so well.

And then one day
I had my love as perfect as could be.
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried,
And it was all for me.

I'll never know who taught her to lie.
Now that it's over and done,
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
I was the one.

And then one day
I had my love as perfect as could be.
She lived, she loved, she laughed, she cried,
And it was all for me.

I'll never know who taught her to lie.
Now that it's over and done,
Who learned the lesson when she broke my heart?
I was the one.

    חקי חיון , לילי זרקה אותי , במשך זמן רב מאוד הייתי מתנהג לא כראוי והייתי משגע את לילי ומוציא אותה מדעתה עד אשר הייתה מאבדת עשתונות ומשליכה חפצים. הרבה פעמים לילי שוחחה עמי והפצירה בי להתנהל כראוי אך אני התעלמתי ממנה וכל הזמן היא הייתה נפגעת ממני , עד אשר התנהגותי שברה אותה והיא זרקה אותי. שלחתי לה מיליון מתנות חלקן יקרות , והיא החזירה לי את כל המתנות. שילמתי לה עבור דירה והיא החזירה לי את כל הכסף. היא לא צריכה את הכסף שלי ולא את המתנות שלי והיא גם לא רוצה אותי. הכל בגללי , כי כל הזמן התנהגתי לא יפה והיא נפגעה ממני לאורך זמן עד שנמאס לה , וכעת אני מתחרט ואני מקווה שעדיין לא מאוחר מידי , אך היא ניתקה כל קשר עמי , היא זרקה אותי. התפללתי לאלוהים שייסיע לי עם לילי , אך אלוהים בכלל לא ענה לי. אלוהים צודק שהוא לא מתייחס אליי , כי אלוהים אף פעם לא מתערב בזכות הבחירה של בנות ובני אדם , זכות הבחירה שלי הייתה לבחור להתנהג כמו אדיוט ולפגוע בלילי , ואני כעת משלם על בחירה מוטעית זו ועל שגיאותי , לילי המון פעמים הסבירה לי כי התנהגותי והתנהלותי הקלוקלת פוגעים בה , אך אני התעלמתי מרגשותיה ומצרכיה וחשבתי רק על עצמי , לילי צודקת שהיא זרקה אותי , כי אני המטומטם.

    Don't ever make me choose my favorite Elvis gig. That will never happen. But this is surely among my absolute favorites. Long live the King!

  40. D.... B....

    Listen to this raw untamed voice and you can feel the restraint singing this song. It finally erupts, sort of, around the 1:45 mark. Priceless! You are missed, Elvis!

  41. J.... V....

    Great video with rare photos to go with an amazing song, one of Elvis's best.

  42. T.... M....

    Thank you so much for sharing this video, 🎤🎸.

  43. T.... M....

    One of Elvis first favourites.he said in an interview at Aubadon drive to wink. It’s funky 😘

  44. L.... P....

    This wonderful man left us over 40 years ago so it is lovely to see the young ones loving his music instead of the rubbish there is today.

    L.... P....

    I was sitting in my semi in a loading bay in 77 when it was announced over my truck radio.I jumped out the cab and told the other guys on the loading bank the news.They were as ( UK slang ) Gob Smacked as I was .

  45. S.... Q....

    Always a favorite. ...he could sing anything ....beautiful. ..timeless

    💋🌹💗

  49. T.... L....

    His voice was much better in the 70's than when he recorded it younger. The best Elvis starts at 68.

  50. S.... M....

    I'm 63 a his music a voice still lifts me up I grew up on God family a Elvis Presley. In my personal opinion Elvis Presley should been called. King of music. But like Elvis Presley once said. Jesus Christ is the real king of Kings. I'm just a singer.

    S.... M....

    Hi Sandra nice to see you still enjoying Elvis through youtube. You're right, Elvis is the King of music, Jesus Christ is the King. Elvis said so himself. God bless.

    S.... M....

    @Sir Klopp I agree 💯

  51. B.... ....

    That photo is so awesome in so many ways1:59

    B.... ....

    The colouring it's fantastic, i think that velvet shirt he was wearing was dark purple not black.

  52. M.... S....

    This song is so fifties, it’s like a time travel machine, and what a voice , you play this song and you think”that’s really good” and then you flip it over and hear “Well since my baby left me!”and omg a star is born! I think this would be a good song for a contestant on the Voice to sing to show off their range. I’m a huge Elvis fan!

  53. B.... L....

    Along came Elvis Presley,

  60. A.... O....

    Wonderful song.Great great voice.

  61. C.... P....

    I had heard somewhere that Elvis himself regarded this as his best recording , at least of all his earlier material. I myself have it in my top ten of all the Presley numbers I've heard ; and I think I've just about heard em' all.

    C.... P....

    I agree this one is very underrated, like a hidden diamond

  62. e.... h....

    This may have been Elvis's greatest!

  63. G.... B....

    Never a bad comment. This beatific man will be remembered long long after I am gone. 😊

  64. P.... J....

    My beautiful sister and I grew up with Elvis I was 12 when we saw love me tender for the first time all the young girls in the audience were crying at the end of the movie he was so beautiful and so young he never lost that amazing voice My sister is gone now but when I listen to Elvis I think about her and the hours we spent listening to him he was so talented and so humble and kind what a shame his life turned out the way it did he just deserved better than the way people used and took advantage of his generous nature so sad

    P.... J....

    Great comment Paula, it's amazing that you can recall your memories of your sister through your shared love of Elvis. You both got to experience his rise to stardom and the fall in his latter years.

    P.... J....

    I've just came back to you comment thank you for the part about my beautiful sister but I totally disagree about the latter part Elvis never had a fall he never lost his true fan base. he was just as beloved when he died as when he started case in point 40 yrs later people of all age groups still love him does that sound like a fall to you

  65. G.... B....

    Elvis..paving the way for the rest..

  66. b.... p....

    magnifique simplement au-dessus de tout

  67. J.... N....

    I Love and Miss Elvis So Much💗
    Sadly I wasn’t born when Elvis was alive but I Love Him just as Much as the fans that were. Just wish I was born in his time and could have experienced it and seen him in person
    A Devoted Fan for Life💗❤️💖💞

  68. C.... W....

    Numero uno. The one. The only. Name doesn't need to be said. Undoubtedly yesterday today forever. The King.

  69. H.... B....

    2:07 waw

  70. B.... F....

    One of my favorites from that great year of '56!!

  71. V.... ....

    Dick Clark ca. 1993 in regards to this song, "There are some songs only Elvis could sing"

  72. T.... S....

    Amazing it's truly awesome

  73. C.... W....

    Always the King. 🙌👌

  80. D.... M....

    Elvis WAS the one!

  81. d.... a....

    Here's to you kathy
    Never forgot your favorite elvis song

  82. T.... ....

    To have grown up listening to Elvis was a God send.

  83. E.... M....

    As soon as I heard this, it became my favorite song. I have never gotten tired of it, and probably never will. No one ever talks about this song, and for some reason hardly anyone knows about it. It is completely underrated. Elvis could sing anything, a voice touched and blessed by God. Did you know he sang gospel around the house constantly? Everyone makes mistakes, especially in Hollywood, it's just great to know that there were/are some Christians out there in CA. <3

  84. S.... C....

    Beautiful voice. Would rather listen to him than anybody. He really connected with people.

  85. j.... t....

    曲名のまま ただ一人の男 elvis

  86. S.... G....

    A little doo wop in there. Nice!

  87. m.... b....

    I'm a big Elvis fan, but listen to Jimmie Dale Gilmore's version, he also does a great version of ' I was the one '

  88. F.... B....

    Elvis was so good with that voice he knew just how to do it!!!!!!

  89. J.... H....

    This man was born to sing,what a vocal 🎼

  90. D.... E....

    One of his best right here from the late and great Elvis wow.

  91. �.... �....

    Elvis is the GOAT

  92. J.... N....

    I’m a Huge Elvis fan.. Love him So Much💗

  93. C.... D....

    No one can sing any better

  94. J.... D....

    Elvis your great man ,we loved you ,never be any one like you again ,I hope we meet in heaven .

  95. G.... S....

    This, and Fame and Fortune are gold man!

  96. D.... D....

    60 years ago.......I’m 75 now and I play this one over and over again like I was 13 years old again❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    D.... D....

    Hi Drena . I am 78 and play it on my guitar along with most of his early stuff .I was the vocalist in a little rock band in 59 so did a lot of his pre 60s stuff at local hops. Those early songs are awesome.

  97. D.... D....

    Hard to believe it was sooooo long ago....so underrated....tears me up every time.... for over 50 years❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  98. D.... D....

    My favorite .....of all time

  99. K.... A....

    See, How's your CUTE BIG SMILE.
    hahahaha
