Heartbreak Hotel
Well, since my baby left me, I found a new place to dwell Down at the end of Lonely Street at Heartbreak Hotel Well I get so lonely, baby, I get so lonely, I get so lonely I could die Always though it's crowded, you still can find some room Those broken-hearted lovers cry away there in their gloom I get so lonely baby, I get so lonely, I get so lonely I could die The bellhop`s tears keep flowing and the desk clerk`s dressed in black They been so long on Lonely Street, they`re never coming back I get so lonely baby, I get so lonely, I get so lonely I could die If your baby leaves you and you`ve had a tale to tell Just take a walk down Lonely Street to Heartbreak Hotel And I get so lonesome baby I get so lonesome, yeah I get so lonesome I could die Although it`s always crowded, you still can find some room For those broken-hearted lovers cry up there, there in their gloom I get so lonely, baby, I get so lonely, yeah I get so lonely I could die I get so lonely, baby, I get so lonely, I get so lonely I could die
