Harum Scarum is the twenty-fourth album by Elvis Presley, released by RCA Victor in mono and stereo, LPM/LSP 3468, in November 1965. Recording sessions took place at RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee, on February 24, 25, and 26, 1965. It peaked at number eight on the Top LP's chart.
Although 1965 had seen the release of Elvis for Everyone, a studio album which was actually recorded over a ten-year period dating back to Presley's first recordings from Sun Studios in Memphis, and a surprising worldwide hit with a five-year-old Gospel track, "Crying In The Chapel", it was back to the grind of making soundtracks. Elvis continued to grumble about the material and the continued pressure put on the stable of songwriters corraled by Freddy Bienstock — the writing team of Giant, Baum, and Kaye alone had provided 17 of 47 songs on the past four soundtracks in an eighteen-month period — but he soldiered on with as much grace as possible. In reality, almost any song could have been squeezed into the story lines, including old classics. But as long as sales continued, the formula required guaranteed control of publishing and new songs by the same songwriters. However, Presley's sales were plunging in music stores as well as ticket sales at the box office.
you don't know how I feel
so let me tell you that my love is real
I can't sand it no more
this lonly day when you walked out the door
now is the time for me to pray
I hope you come back come back one day
Chorus:
hey little girl
let me rock your world
I don't know what to do without you
hey little girl can I rock your world
I just wanna know if you're there
I hope you'll come back to me
I'm so deep in love girl can't you see
I remember your face
all the love we had and all these beautiful days
now is the time for me to pray
I hope you come back come back one day
Chorus
hey little girl can I rock your world
c'mon taste my world 'cause I know my love is true
I wanna be with you no matter what you do
'cause my love is so deep so deep so deep for you
