Well, since my baby left me,
Well, I found a new place to dwell.
Well, It’s down at the end of lonely street
at Heartbreak Hotel.
Where I’ll be, I’ll be so lonely baby
Well I’m so lonely
Well I’m so lonely, I could die.
Although it’s always crowded,
you still can find some room.
For broken hearted lovers
to cry there in their gloom.
They’ll be so, they’ll be so lonely baby
Well Their so lonely
Well Their so lonely, they could die.
Well, the Bellhop’s tears keep flowin’,
and the desk clerk’s dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They never, they’ll never look back.
Well their so their so lonely baby,
Well, their so lonely
their so lonely, they could die
Well now, if your baby leaves you,
and you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
to Heartbreak Hotel.
Where you will you will be be so lonely
You’ll be so lonely
You’ll be so lonely youll be so lonely, you could die
