A Big Hunk O'Love
Elvis Presley Lyrics
Hey baby, I ain't askin' much of you
No no no no no no no no
Baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do
Don't be a stingy little mama
You're 'bout to starve me half to death
Now you can spare a kiss or two
And still have plenty left
I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do
That's right
You're just a natural born beehive
Filled with honey to the top
But I ain't greedy baby
All I want is all you got
Oh no no
Baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do
That's right
I got a wishbone in my pocket
I got a rabbit foot around my wrist
I'd have all of the things my lucky charms could bring
If you give me just a one sweet kiss
Oh no no no no no no no no
Baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big a hunk o' hunk o' hunk o' love will do
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience.

Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number one hit in the United States. With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, Aloha from Hawaii. Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate, just 42 years of age.
Presley is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century. Commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, blues, and gospel, he is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music. He won three competitive Grammys, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.

Hey baby, I ain't askin' much of you
No no no no no no no no, baby
I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big-a big-a big-a hunk o' love will do
Don't be a stingy little mama
You're 'bout to starve me half to death
Well, you can spare a kiss or two
And still have plenty left
No no no, baby
I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big-a big-a big-a hunk o' love will do
That's right
You're just a natural born beehive
Filled with honey to the top
But I ain't greedy, baby
All I want is all you got
No no no, baby

I got a rabbit's foot 'round my wrist
You know I'd have all the things my lucky charms could bring

Just a big-a hunk o' hunk o' hunk o' love will do

This might be the most rockin' tune Elvis ever recorded.
spazhat
"Baby, Let's Play House" or "My Baby Left Me"
Mia Fink
This has got to be the most underrated Elvis song of all time
Austin D
Absolutely agreed
Jared Hazelby
It's true. It's slipped out of people's minds but it's a belter. It was my go-to track on my Elvis 40 greatest hits as a kid and I still think it's the best of the 50s rockers. I think EP also never tired of performing it.
Austin D
ABSOLUTELY
J.A. Martir
He was just ' burning tires ' for his great race!

@Aaron McCracken Yea. You are probably right.

There are no words to describe how awesome this song is. I love the piano rhythm, Scotty Moore and his guitar and that YOUNG Elvis voice.
