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
Heartbreak is so lonely, baby
Well, I'm so lonely
Heartbreak is 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
They'll be
Heartbreak is so lonely, baby
Heartbreak is so lonely
Ah, they're so lonely they could die

Now, the bellhop's tears keep flowin'
And the desk clerk's dressed in black
Well, they been so long on lonely street
They'll never, never look back

And they'll be
Heartbreak is so lonely, baby
Well, they're so lonely
Well, they're so lonely
They could die

Well now, if your baby leaves ya
You've got a tale to tell
Well, just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak Hotel

Where you will be
Heartbreak is so lonely, baby
Well, you will be lonely
You'll be so lonely you could die

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

Although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom

Heartbreak is so
Heartbreak is so lonely, baby
Well, they're so lonely
They'll be so lonely they could die
