Something
Elvis Presley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she moves me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows
All I gotta do is think of her
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know

[Chorus]

You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know

[Chorus]

I had no idea Elvis had ever covered a Beatles song... this is awesome.

@scouseronthewirral

Elvis also sang Hey Jude, Yesterday, Get Back and lady Madonna

@brandonayong5823

Elvis covered the Beatles very often. I also find it interesting that he often covered the late Beatles stuff as opposed to the very famous early stuff

@etodd568

Elvis's best Beatles cover was Something and Yesterday in my opinion...I read they were flattered he did a few during his Las Vegas residency

@thailandengland8861

@G Walker That’s not true story between Elvis and Lennon.

Just imagine going back in time in the 50's and tell to a 15 years old George Harrison « Hey, someday you will write a song that good that Elvis Presley will cover it, and Frank Sinatra too and he will say that it's one of the greatest love songs of all time...ok bye»

@sethlutz4694

I mean Elvis’s standards for what songs he sang weren’t high lol but I get your point

@biggeyc

@@sethlutz4694All the songs he covers are beautiful, he didn’t get famous by covering mediocre songs. Also the point this comment is making is that George Harrison idolized Elvis and having your idol sing a song you made is a little crazy

@sethlutz4694

@@biggey-c8478 did you even read past the first sentence? Also Elvis made over 350 songs dude not all are good. I know because I have many of his albums.
