Heartbreak Hotel Lyrics

[HENRIETTA]
Well!
Since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell

[DENNIS]
It's down at the end of lonely street called

[BOTH]
Heartbreak Hotel

[ENSEMBLE]
I've been so lonely baby!
I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely I could die

[ENSEMBLE, HENRIETTA]
Although it’s always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry away the gloom, cry!

[ENSEMBLE]
I've been so lonely baby!
I've been so lonely
I've been so lonely I could die
[SYLVIA, (ENSEMBLE)]
Now the bell hop's tears keep flowing (Ooh)
The dress clerk’s dressеd in black (Ooh)
Well, they been too long on lonely street
Thеy never coming back (Never coming back!)

[LORRAINE, (ENSEMBLE)]
I've been so lonely baby! (So lonely baby!)
I've been so lonely (So lonely, oop)
I've been so lonely I could die (So lonely I could die)

[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh
I could die

[JIM, (ENSEMBLE)]
Well since my baby left me (Ooh)
I found a new place to dwell (Ooh)
It's down at he end of lonely street (Ah)
Heartbreak Hotel (Heartbreak Hotel)
I've been so lonely baby (Ooh lonely!)
I've been so lonely I could die (Ooh)

[ENSEMBLE]
Don't wanna lonely
Don't wanna lonely no more
So lonely!
Heartbreak Hotel gets so lonely I just wanna die!
[HENRIETTA, (ENSEMBLE)]
Die, don't wanna be lonely! (Don't wanna lonely)
No more (Don't wanna lonely no more)
And just die! (And just die)

[ALL]
Now if your baby leaves you
And you've got a tale to tell
Just take a walk down lonely street
(Overlapping)
Down to heartbreak!
Down to heartbreak!
Down to heartbreak!
(Unison)
Heartbreak Hotel gets me!

So lonely (Lonely)
So lonely (Lonely)
Lonely (Lonely)
Heartbreak Hotel gets me!

So lonely (Lonely)
So lonely (Lonely)
Lonely!

(I get so)
So lonely (Lonely)
So lonely (Lonely)
Lonely!
Heartbreak Hotel gets so lonely I just wanna
Die!
Die!
Die!
