Lyrics
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 HotelWhere I’ll be, I’ll be so lonely baby
Well, I’m so lonely
I’ll be so lonely, I could dieAlthough it’s always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloomThey’ll be so, they’ll be so lonely baby
They get so lonely
They’re so lonely, they could dieNow, 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 backAnd they get so, they get so lonely baby
Well they are so lonely
They’re so lonely, they could dieWell, now, if your baby leaves you
And you got a tale to tell
Well, just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak HotelWhere you will be, you will be so lonely baby
Well you will be lonely
You’ll be so lonely, you could dieAlthough it’s always crowded
But you still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers to cry there in their gloomWhere they get so, they get so lonely baby
Well they’re so lonely
They’ll be so lonely, they could die
