Stuck on You
Elvis Presley and the Jordanaires 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
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue




Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you

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!!
