The thrill of your love is like a drug It makes me high and keeps me coming back Your touch is like fire, it burns me up But I can’t get enough

“Thrill of Your Love” is a classic example of Presley’s early rock and roll style. It is a passionate and energetic song with a catchy melody and powerful vocals. It is no wonder that it remains one of his most popular and enduring songs.
