Yeah heah oh-hoh well I saw my face in the paper today It said hello to the face that I saw at home I read a tale of a girl with my name It was not the one that I know no You shook my hand and you said you understand And you said that you know where I'm coming from But the only place that I've ever been Is far far from known What you say about me Stabs me in the heart What you read about me is a shot in the dark yeah I've never been to Memphis I've never seen my good-luck star I've never seen Las Vegas lights Laughing at the dark I've never dragged the train of my dress Down Elvis Presley Boulevard I've never been to Memphis Cross my heart hmm I want to see my name in neon lights Cause the words that you write They don't last my friends They only shine a day at a time And leave stains on my hands well So what's the use in rolling the dice When you already know how it's gonna fall You think that if you play your cards right You might deal with us all What're gonna do When a seven falls Will the rolling thunder scatter all of your cards I've never been to Memphis no I've never seen my good-luck star I've never seen Las Vegas lights Laughing at the dark I've never dragged the train of my dress Down Elvis Presley Boulevard I've never been to Memphis Cross my heart Cross my heart Ooh yes Believe me hmm I've never been to Memphis no no I've never seen my good-luck star baby I wanna see Las Vegas lights yeah Laughing at the dark I've never dragged the train of my dress Down Elvis Presley Boulevard I've never been to Memphis Cross my heart Cross my heart I've never been to Memphis no no no I've never seen my good-luck star I've never seen Las Vegas lights yeah Laughing at the dark I've never dragged the train of my dress Down Elvis Presley Boulevard yeah I've never been to Memphis Cross my heart Cross my heart yeah I've never been to Memphis no no I've never seen my good-luck star I've never seen Las Vegas lights yeah Laughing at the dark I've never dragged the train of my dress Through the Nevada desert sand I've never been to Memphis Raise my hand Raise my hand baby yeah Oh yeah Tell it how it is yeah Yeah yeah Whoo Tell me how it is C'mon Whoo Cross my heart Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Mmmm [laughter] Whoh! that's the one That was the one
