His Latest Flame Lyrics
a very old friend came by today
cause he was telling everyone in town
of the love that he has found
and marie's the name
of his latest flame
he talked and talked
and i heard him say
that she had the longest, blackest hair
the prettiest green eyes anywhere
and marie's the name
of his latest flame
though i smiled the tears inside were a burnin
i wished him luck and then he said goodbye
he was gone but still his words kept returnin
what else was there for me to do but cry
will you believe that yesterday
this girl was in my arms and swore to me
she'd be mine eternally
and marie's the name
of his latest flame
though i smiled the tears inside were a burnin
i wished him luck and then he said goodbye
he was gone but still his words kept returnin
what else was there for me to do but cry
will you believe that yesterday
this girl was in my arms and swore to me
she'd be mine eternally
and marie's the name
of his latest flame
(yea marie's the name, of his latest flame. oh marie's the name, of his latest flame.)
cause he was telling everyone in town

It's because most (under 20) on this site think Queen ripped off Vanilla Ice.
This is an uptempo blues song about a friend who is telling this guy about this great girl he has found, and guess what? It's his girl, she's obviuosly a slut, and all he can do is sit there and listen...pure hell.
This song is awesome, my favorite Elvis song. I like this webiste too I just don't understand why Alkaline Trio and Dashboard Confessional get hundreds of comments and The King gets no respect.
Because people are idiots.
i love this song too, the smiths cover this song mixed in with their original rusholme ruffians.
This songs amazing!!!!!!! I agree with BlueOatmeal, most young people nowadays wouldnt know a good song if it jumped up and bit them in the bum. A simple song with simple lyrics, ephilbrook basically nailed the meaning. But nobody comes out with a song like this anymore.
i love this song!! everytime i hear it i have to sing and dance....i love everything about it (the music, the lyrics, his smooth elvis voice)
...you mean Vanilla Ice didn't write that song?
...just kidding. Definitely my favorite Elvis song. Overrated. And I love the Smiths' Live medley, too. Although not even Morrissey can touch the King.
*underrated. :P
I'm 24, and I've always loved Elvis. So not all young people are idiots. :/
This song is so amazing - it's got such a great reveal. I love that it isn't explained why he's crying first. Man. What a fantastic song. Definitely in my top 5 favorites (though his rendition of How Great Thou Art is pretty freaking amazing).
Certainly gets my toes tapping! (and I'm 20!) ;-) Was brought up on Elvis, so I know loads of his songs but not many of the titles, I know once I hear it though
