About the song
There’s something magical about the way Elvis Presley could take a simple melody and turn it into a timeless classic. With his signature voice, equal parts velvet and grit, “Stuck On You” is no exception. Released in 1960, this song marked Elvis’s triumphant return to the music scene after serving two years in the U.S. Army. It wasn’t just a song—it was a statement. Elvis was back, and he was better than ever.
At its core, “Stuck On You” is a sweet and playful ode to love, blending elements of pop, rock, and even a touch of rhythm and blues. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love so irresistible, so all-encompassing, that there’s simply no escaping it. “You can shake an apple off an apple tree,” Elvis croons, but this devotion is immovable, unshakable—stuck, in the best possible way.
The song opens with a catchy bassline and a rhythmic handclap, setting the stage for Elvis’s unmistakable baritone to take center stage. His delivery is as smooth as ever, radiating charm and confidence with every note. It’s this effortless magnetism that made Elvis Presley not just a musician, but a cultural phenomenon. “Stuck On You” became an instant hit, rocketing to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and solidifying his place as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll even after a two-year hiatus.
But what makes this track particularly special is its sense of intimacy. Elvis doesn’t overwhelm with heavy instrumentation or complex arrangements; instead, the simplicity allows his voice and the song’s playful, romantic tone to shine. It’s a reminder of the kind of magic that happens when music is stripped back to its essentials: a great melody, heartfelt lyrics, and an artist who knows how to connect deeply with his audience.
“Stuck On You” isn’t just a love song—it’s a testament to Elvis’s enduring ability to capture the hearts of listeners. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering it for the first time, this track has an irresistible pull, much like the love it describes. After all, once you’ve heard it, you’ll find yourself happily “stuck” on Elvis, too.

Lyrics
You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake-a, shake, sugar
But you’ll never shake me
Uh-uh-uh
No-sir-ee, uh, uh
I’m gonna stick like glue
Stick because I’m
Stuck on you
Gonna run my fingers through your long black hair
Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I’m gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I’m
Stuck on you
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain’t gonna do you no good at all
Cause once I catch ya, and the kissin’ starts
A team of wild horses couldn’t tear us apart
Try to take a tiger from his daddy’s side
That’s how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh, Uh-uh-uh
Oh yeah, Uh-uh-uh
I’m gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I’m
Stuck on you
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain’t gonna do you no good at all
Cause once I catch ya, and the kissin’ starts
A team of wild horses couldn’t tear us apart
Try to take a tiger from his daddy’s side
That’s how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh, Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I’m gonna stick like glue
Yeah, yeah, because I’m
Stuck on you
I’m gonna stick like glue
Yeah, yeah, because I’m
Stuck on you
I’m gonna stick like glue
Yeah, yeah, because I’m
Stuck on you
