Don't be cruel, teddy bear, dancing hips and long black hair,
old friend, you cross my mind today.
Las Vegas Hotel, Graceland, sweet young daughter and a million fans,
old friend, you touch my heart today.
If I listen real close in the still of the night,
I can hear your voice saying you're all right,
Close my eyes, open my soul, touch the King of Rock n Roll,
old friend it's good to hear you once again.
You shook us all up, you loved us tender,
caught us in a trap, we all surrendered
uh huh, oh yea, loving you.
Don't, don't, baby treat me nice, I'm falling in love with you.
I can sit down put your records on,
Seven sad years are suddenly gone,
God you were young, it doesn't seem fair,
would you be here if I could have been there,
old friend, my heart is crying once again.
Trap here on earth, your mother is free,
a lonely pain we refuse to see,
old friend you touch my heart today,
old friend I'm missing you - once again.
I'm missing you once again.
