Ricky Nelson, 1958
Written by Sharon Sheely
This song was reportedly based on Sheely's disappointment following a short-lived relationship with Don Everly. "Well, I'd played this game with other hearts / But I never thought I'd see / The day when someone else would play / Love's foolish game with me." She got Nelson's attention by pretending that her car was broken down and when he came to help, she played the song for him! She had a lot of grit to be so assertive in that era. I think Elvis might have given this song a little more heart and oomph, but Nelson's very pleasant voice does a fine job with it.
