“One Sided Love Affair” (or “One-sided Love Affair”) is a song by Elvis Presley from his 1956 debut album Elvis Presley. Later, in August in the same year (1956) it was also released as a single,[2] with “Money Honey” on the flip side.
About The Song
The song (both the words and the music) was written by Bill Campbell.
Presley recorded the song on January 30, 1956, at the RCA Studio in New York.
There were six songs handpicked by A&R person Steve Sholes himself for Presley to record for his first album at the sessions, but “One-sided Love Affair” was the only one Presley liked and recorded.
In a March 24, 1956 interview the song was cited by Presley as his favorite from the album.

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
If you want to be loved
Baby, you got to love me too
If you want to be loved
Baby, you got to love me too, oh yeah
‘Cause I ain’t for no one-sided love affair
If you wanna be kissed
Well, you gotta kiss me too, oh yeah
If you wanna be kissed
Well, you gotta kiss me too, oh yeah
‘Cause I ain’t for no one-sided love affair
Well, a fair exchange that’s no robbery
And the whole world will know that it’s true
Understanding solves all the problems, baby
That’s why I’m telling you
If you wanna be hugged
Well, you gotta hug me too, oh yeah
If you wanna be hugged
Well, you gotta hug me too, oh yeah
‘Cause I ain’t for no one-sided love affair
Why, If you know you can’t take it
Well then, baby, why try to give it?
If you know you can’t take it
Well then, baby, why try to give it?
‘Cause I ain’t for no one-sided love affair
Well, a fair exchange bears no robbery
And the whole world will know that it’s true
Understanding solves all the problems, baby
That’s why I’m telling you
If you wanna be hugged
Well, you gotta hug me too, oh yeah
If you wanna be hugged
Baby, you gotta hug me too, oh yeah
‘Cause I ain’t for no one-sided love affair
‘Cause I ain’t for no one-sided love affair
‘Cause I ain’t for no one-sided love affair
