HEARTBREAK HOTEL
WRITERS MAE BOREN AXTON, TOMMY DURDEN, ELIS PRESLEY
Well since my baby left me Well I found a new place
to dwell Well it's down at the end of Lonely Street
That Heartbreak Hotel, where I'll be.
.. I'll be just so lonely baby,
Well I'm so lonely, I'll be so lonely I could die.
Although it's always crowded,
You still can find some room For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in the gloom,
and be so... They'll be just so lonely baby They'll
be just so lonely, Well they're so lonely they could
die. Now, the bell hop's tears keep flowin',
And the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well they've been so long on Lonely Street They'll
never, never look back, and they'll be.
.. They'll be just so lonely,
baby Well they're so lonely Well they're so lonely
they could die. Well now, if your baby leaves you,
You've got a tale to tell.
Well just take a walk down Lonely Street To Heartbreak
Hotel, where you will be..
. You'll be so lonely baby,
Well you'll be lonely, You'll be so lonely you could
die. (Instrumental Break) Although it's always crowded,
You still can find some room.
For broken hearted lovers To cry there in the gloom,
and be so... They'll be just so lonely baby Well they're
so lonely, Well they're so lonely they could die
