Notes.
1. Apologies, if I misheard something? Feel free to simplify and adapt, as necessary.
2. This movie has great memories for me, of long-lost family members and young friends.
As it was the only Elvis movie that treated him, albeit within a fictional script,
as part of his ?own story?. Not the unbelievable fictions of Hollywood and tinsel-town.
3. Google translate's and my bad 'best guess' at the German lyrics. I look forward to corrections.

"I must because, I must because,
For(my)town?s out, For(my)town's out.
And you, my treasure, (will) stay here?

There's no strings upon this love of mine,
It was always you from the start.

Be good to me, Be good to me,
Be (good to) me, how you really should.
What you really should,
'Cause I don?t have a wooden heart!"
