Stuck On You
Elvis Presley (Children's) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake-a, shake, sugar
But you'll never shake me
Uh-uh-uh
No-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick because I'm
Stuck on you

Gonna run my fingers through your long black hair
Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you

Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
Cause once I catch ya, and the kissin' starts
A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart
Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side
That's how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh, Uh-uh-uh
Oh yeah, Uh-uh-uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you

Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
Cause once I catch ya, and the kissin' starts
A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart
Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side
That's how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh, Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Yeah, yeah, because I'm
Stuck on you
I'm gonna stick like glue
Yeah, yeah, because I'm
Stuck on you
I'm gonna stick like glue
Yeah, yeah, because I'm
Stuck on you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Elvis Presley's "Stuck on You" offer a playful declaration of love that is as sweet as it is unwavering. The song starts with a metaphor that is easy for listeners to come to terms with: the singer says that just as you can't shake an apple off an apple tree, he won't be deterred from his love affair. He's literally "Stuck on You" and refuses to let go.


The sentiment is carried through the song, with Elvis saying he'll "squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear" and comparing his love to a tiger's loyalty to its parent. There's a sense of humor at play here, with Elvis noting that hiding in the kitchen or the hall won't do his beloved any good: once he's found her, a team of wild horses couldn't keep them apart.


Overall, "Stuck on You" is a catchy, upbeat love song that conveys a sense of devotion without taking itself too seriously. It's the kind of tune that might make a listener smile or tap their feet - a testament to the enduring appeal of Elvis Presley's music.


Line by Line Meaning

You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Just like how it's easy to shake an apple off a tree with a little force, it's equally difficult to shake me off once I am attached to you.


But you'll never shake me
No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to get rid of me because I am fully committed to you.


I'm gonna stick like glue
I won't be able to let go of you even if I wanted to; I'm so deeply attached to you that it feels like I am stuck to you like glue.


Gonna run my fingers through your long black hair
I can't resist touching you, and I love running my fingers through your long, beautiful hair.


Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
I will hold you so tight that even a grizzly bear couldn't compare to the strength of my embrace.


Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
You can try to hide from me in different parts of the house, but it won't help you; I will find you.


Ain't gonna do you no good at all
Hiding won't help because I am too persistent and won't stop until I find you.


Cause once I catch ya, and the kissin' starts
Once I find you, I won't be able to resist kissing you, and nothing else will matter.


A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart
Our love is so strong that even the most extreme forces would not be able to break us apart.


Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side
Just like how it's impossible to separate a tiger from its family, our love cannot be separated or broken easily.


That's how love is gonna keep us tied
Our love is what binds us together, and no outside forces can tear us apart.


I'm gonna stick like glue
My commitment to you is unwavering and unbreakable, and I will remain attached to you like glue.


Yeah, yeah, because I'm Stuck on you
My love for you is so strong that I am genuinely stuck on you, unable to let go or move on.

February 1958, I was 16 in hospital for an appendix operation, One of the nurses was always singing this song - I fell in love for the first time, I will never forget this song - or the nurse!!
