Go Back

Ask Me

Words & Music by Bill Giant, Bernie Baum, Florence Kaye

Lyrics:

Ask me if I wanted to caress you
And I'd confess
Ask me if I'm longing to possess you
I'll answer yes

Now that we're together
I could hold you close forever
And I swear that I would never let you go

There's no question that I care more than you
Love me darling, just be mine completely
And there's nothing I won't do if you
Just ask me
More info:

Originally, Ask Me was the Italian song Io, written by Domenico Modugno. The English lyrics were written by Bill Giant, Bernie Baum and Florence Kaye. Elvis first recorded Ask Me on May 27, 1963, at RCA's Nashville studios. That version has never been released. The released take was recorded at the same studio on January 12, 1964. Elvis's single reached #12 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart during its 12-week stay. An alternate mix was heard on the French single (RCA 45-567): one of the stereo channels was omitted, eliminating the Jordanaires' vocal backing and other instrumentation, and all that was heard was Elvis and Floyd Cramer's organ playing.
