I'm grateful for his music,
it forever changed my life
Oh, I loved lovin' me tender
and how that boy could sing
But when he died, I wondered why
Tell me, who did they think
Who did they think he was?
Who did they think he was?
The whole world bowed and prayed
Who did they think he was?
He was born in Massachusetts in 1917
The second son of an Irishman,
He was brave and strong and handsome,
millions cried like he was heaven sent
Tell me, who did they think,
who did they think he was?
who did they think he was?
The whole world bowed and prayed,
who did they think he was?
There was a child of heaven
with warm and calloused hands
He healed the hearts of many
so they nailed him to a tree
With no one left to mourn his death
but the women at his feet crying
who did they think he was?
who did they think he was?
There was no one left to grieve
but the women at his feet
Brian, who did they think,
who did they think he was?
who did they think he was?
