O produtor Sam Phillips estava procurando uma música pra ser o lado B do compacto que teria Baby let’s play house no lado A. Stan Kesler, um dos compositores, tocava guitarra de aço pra Sam Phillips. Ele trouxe a música que havia composto e no inicio, a gravação não deu certo.
Elvis, Bill e Scott tentaram a canção numa batida mais devagar. Então Sam Phillips trouxe um jovem baterista chamado Jimmie Lott, que foi o primeiro percussionista a trabalhar com Elvis numa gravação. Com ele, a canção foi trabalhada novamente e gravada novamente, até ficar da forma como ficou pra posteridade.
A letra:
Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone.
Well, you tried to tell me so,
But how was I to know
That she was not the one for me
You told me all along
You're right, our love was so wrong
But now I changed my mind,
Because she broke the ties that bind
And I know that she never cared for me
Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do
I guess I'm not so smart
Oh, you tried to tell me along she'd only break my heart
I'm left, you're right, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone
Well, she's gone I know not where
But now I just don't care
For now I'm falling for you
If you'll forgive me now
I'll make it up somehow
So happy we will be
In a home just for three
And I'll soon forget her
Now I know
Well, I thought I knew just what she'd do
I guess I'm not so smart
You tried to tell me all along
She'd only break my heart
Well, you're right, I'm left, she's gone
You're right, and I'm left all alone
Well, she's gone, I know not where
But now I just don't care
For now I've fallen for you
