About the song
When people talk about the golden era of rock ‘n’ roll, one name always rises to the top: **Elvis Presley**. Known as *The King of Rock and Roll*, Elvis didn’t just sing—he electrified audiences with his unique blend of charm, charisma, and rhythm. One song that perfectly captures his smooth vocal style and bold personality is **”Treat Me Nice”**.
Released in 1957 as part of the soundtrack for his second film *Jailhouse Rock*, **”Treat Me Nice”** is a playful, upbeat tune that blends rock ‘n’ roll with rhythm and blues influences. Written by the famous songwriting duo Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, the track is built around a simple but powerful message: respect and kindness are the foundation of any good relationship. Elvis delivers this message with a mix of swagger and sincerity, making it hard to resist his plea.
What makes **”Treat Me Nice”** so memorable isn’t just its catchy melody, but the way Elvis performs it. He starts with a laid-back tone, almost teasing, then gradually adds intensity, showing his vocal range and emotional depth. The backing vocals and rhythmic piano perfectly complement his voice, creating a rich, toe-tapping sound that feels just as fresh today as it did decades ago.
Whether you’re a lifelong Elvis fan or just discovering his music, **”Treat Me Nice”** is a great example of why his influence still resonates. It’s a song that makes you smile, tap your feet, and maybe even think twice about how you treat the people around you. In the hands of Elvis Presley, even a simple message becomes unforgettable.

Lyrics
When I walk through that door, baby, be polite
You’re gonna make me sore if you don’t greet me right
Don’t you ever kiss me once, kiss me twice
Treat me nice
I know that you’ve been told, it’s not fair to tease
So if you come on cold, I’m really gonna freeze
If you don’t want me to be cold as ice
Treat me nice
Make me feel at home if you really care
Scratch my back and run your pretty fingers through my hair
You know I’ll be your slave if you ask me to
But if you don’t behave, I’ll walk right out on you
If you want my love, then take my advice
Treat me nice
Make me feel at home if you really care
Scratch my back and run your pretty fingers through my hair
You know I’ll be your slave if you ask me to
But if you don’t behave, I’ll walk right out on you
If you want my love, then take my advice
Treat me nice, treat me nice
If you really want my love, then treat me nice
