Go Back

She's Not You

Words & Music by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, Doc Pomus

Her hair is soft and her eyes are oh so blue
She's all the things a girl should be,
But she's not you.

She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue
She's ev'rything a man could want,
But she's not you.

And when we're dancing
It almost feels the same
I've got to stop myself from
Whisp'ring your name

She even kisses me like you used to do.
And it's just breaking my heart
'cause she's not you.

First album:

RCA 47-8041, 1962, Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello / She's Not You

First recorded:

Studio Session for RCA RCA Studio B, Nashville, March 19, 1962

More info:

Elvis recorded She's Not You on March 19, 1962, at RCA's Nashville studios. His single release had a 10-week stay on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, reaching a high of #5. It was #13 on the rhythm & blues chart and #2 on the Easy-Listening chart. Only Ray Charles's You Don't Know Me (which Elvis would later record) kept She's Not You from the top position on the latter chart. The record hit number one in England for three weeks. Total worldwide sales exceeded one million copies. She's Not You was written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller and Doc Pomus, and was their first collaboration.
