Elvis Presley covered this

Troubles, troubles, troubles
When it rains, it really pours
You know what it takes
You've got it, baby
You are the only one I chose
Don't leave me here with all these heartaches
Only you and heaven knows
About my troubles troubles troubles
When it rains, it really pours
You shouldn't have took away my loving
You know you thrill me from head to toe
I got a feeling for you, baby
And you're the only one who knows
About my troubles, troubles, troubles
When it rains, it really pours
You know what you did to make me love you
You really opened up my nose
You got what you wanted; now you left me
That's the way the story goes
Well, I got troubles, troubles, troubles
When it rains, it really pours
