Bill Medley (dei The Righteous Brothers)
Don't be Cruel, Teddy Bear, dancing hips and long black hair,
old friend you crossed my mind today.
Las Vegas Hotel, Graceland, sweet young daughter & million fans,
old friend, you touched 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 feel you once again.
You shook us all up, you loved us tender,
caught us in a trap, wee 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, 7 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.
Trapped here on earth, your Mother is free,
a lonely pain we refused to see,
old friend it touched my heart today,
old friend I'm missing you once again.
I'm missing you once again.
