Elvis, I Don’t Love You

I followed you as far as Spike
Though there were some I didn't like at all
I said I liked at all
Goodbye Cruel World it almost blew
And half of Trust to name a few
The twilight of your amp buzz
But I couldn't see how true your aim was

Elvis, I don't love you
Elvis, I don't love you
Elvis, I don't love you anymore

Bought every single reissue
Read each appalling interview
In which you talked like
Rock was just some silly phase that you went through
But even when your heart got set
On Bacharach and string quartets
My ringing ears drew closer
To parse the pose from the composer

Elvis, I don't love you
Elvis, I don't love you
Elvis, I don't love you anymore

I felt your pain, it didn't hurt
Tastes like cold revenge, maybe just desserts
You'll never know how much you meant to me
I think I speak for all of us when now I say 'You've gotta go'
And if you must, you must, you must!

We all enjoyed your Brutal Youth;
We'd like it back, to tell the truth!
We grew apart -- we both know how
I hope you're happy now!

Elvis, I don't love you
Elvis, I don't love you
Elvis, I don't love you anymore
Elvis, I don't love you
Elvis, I don't love you
Elvis, I don't love you anymore

Oh, I just don't know where to begin...
