LOVE ME TENDER

Live 29 Feb 1988 version



[Spoken intro:] Yeah. Wanna say, wanna thank everybody that's been coming down to these shows the past three nights. Thanks a lot. We couldn't had a better place or a better way to start our tour. So now we're gonna go all around the world and rock 'em for you. Well this is something a little special we learned this afternoon that I wanna do for you and the one that you love.

Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
Oh my darling I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
Never want to apart

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
Oh my darling I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me dear
Tell me that you're mine
I'll be yours through all the years
Till the end of time

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
Oh my darling I love you
And I always will
For my darling I love you
And I always will
