“Please Don’t Stop Loving Me” is a song first recorded by Elvis Presley as part of the soundtrack for his 1966 motion picture Frankie and Johnny.
It was also in 1966 released as a B-side to “Frankie and Johnny”, the title song of the same movie. Both songs charted on the Billboard Hot 100. “Please Don’t Stop Loving Me'” peaked in it at number 45 on the week of April 23, 1966.

According to the book Elvis Films FAQ, “Please Don’t Stop Loving Me” was influenced by the song “Non ho l’età (Per amarti)” (“I’m Too Young to Love You”), with which Gigliola Cinquetti won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1964. The book states that “although the chorus is completely different in “Please Don’t Stop Loving Me,” the similarity between the melody and the verses is striking”

Lyric
Please don’t stop loving me
You were born just to be in my arms
In my arms
Please don’t stop loving me
Your lips were made just to be kissed by me
Kissed by me
When I’m with you
I don’t know day from night, wrong from right
You’re my world, that’s all I know
I love you so, I won’t let go
Please don’t stop loving me
Darling, you’ll always be mine alone
Mine alone
