Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go.
I’ve never written a song in my life. It’s all a big hoax.
I’ve tried to lead a straight, clean life, not set any kind of a bad example.
Gonna travel, gonna travel wild and free I’m gonna pack my bags because this great big world is calling me.
Don’t leave my embrace for here in my arms is your place.
I don’t like people who are in politics for themselves and not for others. You want that, you can go into show business.
Once I catch you and the kissing starts, a team of wild horses couldn’t tear us apart.
Man, I was tame compared to what they do now. Are you kidding? I didn’t do anything but just jiggle.
Later on they send me to Hollywood. To make movies. It was all new to me. I was only 21 years old.
I’m not kidding myself. My voice alone is just an ordinary voice. What people come to see is how I use it. If I stand still while I’m singing, I’m dead, man. I might as well go back to driving a truck.
Sharing money is what gives it its value.
I don’t know anything about music. In my line you don’t have to.
Fame and fortune, how empty they can be.
I have no use for bodyguards, but I have very specific use for two highly trained certified public accountants.
The walls have ears, ears that hear each little sound you make every time you stamp, throw a lamp.
Money honey, if you want to get along with me.
I wiggle my shoulders, I shake my legs, I walk up and down the stage, I hop around on one foot. But I never bump and grind. Why, that’s vulgar. I’d never do anything vulgar before an audience. My mother would never allow it.
Computers may out think us one day, but as long as people got feelings we’ll be better than they are.
I get sometimes; I get lonesome right in the middle of a crowd.
In public, I like real conservative clothes, something that’s not too flashy. But onstage, I like ’em as flashy as you can get ’em.
