Elvis Presley I Need Somebody to Lean On
Written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman. Elvis recorded it July 10, 1963 at Radio Recorders for the 1964 film Viva Las Vegas. It was released on the I Got Lucky LP and A Valentine Gift For You LP. It is now available on the Viva Las Vegas/Roustabout soundtrack compilation, which is where this version is from.


I need somebody to lean on
I need somebody to tell my troubles to
No use denying, I'm close to cryin'
But what good, tell me what good would my crying do?

I need somebody to help me
Help me forget all those worries on my mind
And when I'm lonely, if someone would only
Want to be sweet and kind

I need somebody, won't that somebody
Please, please listen to my plea
Need that somebody, won't that somebody
Come running to me

I need somebody to lean on
I'm tired of being unhappy and so blue
If she came I would hold her 'cause I need that shoulder
To lean on, yes I really do
I need somebody, and baby that somebody is you
Mmmmmmm

    This is such a very beautiful, overlooked and underrated ballad. It should be way, way, way better known than it actually is. It's a true masterpiece in every way. Elvis had a voice like no other. This video was absolutely perfect in every way, 10 Stars as always Jackie.
