Don't, don't, that's what you say
Each time that I hold you this way,
When I feel like this and I want to kiss you,
Baby, don't say don't.

Don't, don't leave my embrace
For here in my arms is your place
When the night grows cold and I want to hold you,
Baby, don't say don't.

If you think that this is just a game
I'm playing
If you think that I don't mean
Every word I'm saying
Don't, don't,
Don't feel that way
I'm your love and yours I will stay

This you can believe
I will never leave you
Heaven knows I won't
Baby, don't say don't

Sorry, but I just can't imagine anyone saying "don't" to Elvis!

One of the most beautiful songs Elvis ever recorded...that vocal backing from the Jordanaires is sublime...

@fanforlife32 elvis' early music was by far the best. after the army the music seemed to lose its edgyness, he wasn't the rebel anymore. don't get me wrong some of the music after the army was good but it was missing the punch that hound dog, don't be cruel and jailhouse rock had.

A heart wrenchingly beautiful song.

Both "Don't" and the flip side "I Beg Of You" entered Billboard's Best Selling Records chart on this date {Jan. 27th} in 1958. It then became a rare two-sided Top 10 record; "Don't" reached #1 on Feb. 10th, while "I Beg Of You" peaked at #8... {Info source: Joel Whitburne's "Billboard's Top 40" book & Wikipedia}

Elvis puts it all out front with this heartfelt entreaty. We don't know the answer. It will have to come in time.
