What Am I Living For
Conway Twitty Lyrics
Well, what am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you
Baby, nobody else, nobody else will do
Well, what am I longing for
Each lonely night
To feel your lips close to mine
And hold you tight
My whole life through
Baby, nobody else
Nobody else will do
Well, I want you close to me
That's all I know
And I want you all the time
'Cause, darling, I love you so
What am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you
Baby, nobody else, nobody else will do
Well, I want you close to me
That's all I know
And I want you all the time
'Cause, darling, I love you so
Oh, what am I living for if not for you
What am I living for if not for you
Yes, what am I living for if not for you
Baby, nobody else, nobody else will do
Baby, nobody else, nobody else will do

He teamed up with Loretta Lynn to form one of country music's most successful business partnerships.
Origin of Jenkins Stage Name--------- Jenkins felt that his real name wasn't marketable, and he changed his show business name in 1957. (Harold Lloyd Jenkins would always remain his legal name, however). Looking at a road map, he spotted Conway, Arkansas and Twitty, Texas. Thus, he went with the professional name of "Conway Twitty".[citation needed]
Alternatively, Jenkins met a Richmond, VA, man named W. Conway Twitty Jr. through Jenkins' manager in a New York City restaurant. The manager served in the army with the real Conway Twitty. Later, the manager suggested to Jenkins that he take the name as his stage name because it had a ring to it. The Richmond Conway Twitty subsequently recorded the song, "What's in a Name But Trouble," in the mid-1960s, lamenting the loss of his name to Jenkins. The flip side of the 45 RPM record was "The Purple, Purple People Eater, Eater." (The more well known version of Purple People Eater, however, now having sold over 100,000,000 copies, was recorded by Sheb Wooley.)
