Heartbreak Hotel Lyrics

Well, since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down at the end of lonely street
It's heartbreak hotel
Oh well, baby
I've been so lonely, baby
I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely I could die
Although its always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in the gloom
Oh well, I've been so lonely, baby
I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely I could die
--- Instrumental ---
Well, the bell hops tears keep flowin'
The desk clerks dressed in black
It's been so long on lonely street
They ain't ever gonna look back
I've been so lonely baby
I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely I could die
Well now, if your baby leaves you
You got a tale to tell
You take a walk down lonely street
To heartbreak hotel
Well, I've been so lonely baby
I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely I could die
--- Instrumental to fade ---
