Heartbreak Hotel Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now, since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel

[Chorus]
And I'm so lonely, baby
So lonely, baby
I'm so lonely that I could die

[Verse 2]
And though it's always crowded
You can find yourself a room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in the gloom

[Chorus]
There they'll be so lonely, baby
Oh, lonely, baby
Yeah, you'll be so lonely you could die
Get it, Elvis, wow!

[Verse 3]
The bellhop's tears keep flowin'
The desk clerk dressed in black
They've been so long on Lonely Street
Until they'll never get back
[Chorus]
But they'll be so lonely, baby
They're lonely, baby
And they're lonely, baby
They could die

[Verse 4]
Well, now if your baby leaves you
You got a tale to tell
Just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak Hotel

[Chorus]
Be lonely, baby
Alone to be lonely-lonely, baby
You're lonely, baby, you could die
Wow!

[Outro]
Well, it be-be so lonely, baby
Baby-baby, lonely, baby
And you'll be so lonely, baby
But I won't a-be so lonely when I hold you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
