About the song
Released in 1960, “Stuck On You” by Elvis Presley is a classic that marked a new phase in the legendary singer’s career. Known for his electrifying rock and roll hits, Elvis ventured into a softer, more laid-back sound with this ballad, a move that would set the tone for much of his future work. The song’s gentle, country-inspired melody, paired with Elvis’s rich baritone voice, struck a chord with audiences at the time, and it remains a timeless favorite.
What sets “Stuck On You” apart is its heartfelt, simple lyricism, which tells the story of a love that is so deep, it feels as though nothing could ever come between the two people involved. With lines like “I’m stuck on you,” the song conveys the unshakeable bond between two lovers, showcasing Elvis’s ability to express vulnerability and warmth through his music. Unlike the fast-paced rock ‘n’ roll tracks that initially made him famous, this ballad was slower and more introspective, offering a refreshing change for listeners.
The instrumentation is equally charming, featuring soft guitar strumming and a smooth, steady rhythm that complements the soothing vocals. It was a perfect fit for Elvis’s crossover appeal—able to capture both the country music audience and his core fans from the rock ‘n’ roll era. The success of “Stuck On You” was undeniable, as it became one of his chart-topping hits, reaching number one on the Billboard Pop chart and proving that Elvis could thrive in a variety of musical genres.

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
