Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Ah, Honey, if I get restless
Baby, you're not that kind

Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off of me
Ah, Honey, when you knock on my door
Ooh, I gave you my key

Ooh-hoo, and nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Ooh-hoo, and nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Ooh-hoo.. I gave you my heart

So don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart

And nobody told us
`Cause nobody showed us
And now it's up to us, Babe
Ooh I think we can make it

So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
Oh, you put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights

Ooh-hoo, and nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Ooh-hoo, and nobody knows it
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Ooh-hoo.. I gave you my heart

Don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart

Ooh-hoo, and nobody knows it
When I was down
I was your clown
Right from the start
I gave you my heart
Ooh-hoo.. I gave you my heart

Don't go breaking my heart
I won't go breaking your heart
(Don't go breakin' my, don't go breakin' my)
Don't go breaking my heart

(Don't go breakin' my, don't go breakin' my)
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
(Don't go breakin' my)
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
(Don't go breakin' my)
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
(Don't go breakin' my)
I won't go breaking your heart
Don't go breaking my heart
(Don't go breakin' my)
I won't go breaking your heart

I randomly started watching this morning during takeoff on my Flight to Dubai. The timing was unreal. I literally taking off to Fly Away to start a new life. I felt like God was talking directly to me. It felt amazing.

@sian186

That happened to me this summer on a British Ariways flight lol. I have been obsessed with this song & movie ever since.

@eagle7792

This... this is what i call art. Gives me goosebumps, just like Elvis himself does

@Bodhismile

This is such a powerful overture/prelude for the story. Intense energy, seduction, spirit, youthful vibe, refuge and launch into an extraordinary life.

@Musicfan1020

I like the part at 2:20 when Austin starts singing more and it actually sounds like it could have been Elvis. I feel like Elvis would have used it to warm up like he did “Oh, Happy Day!”

@Laura329

This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I absolutely loved watching the church scene and what a great way to introduce Austin Butler as Elvis. Baz did a really great job on this film.

@MalloryNewcomb

Was this his first scene?!
