Heartbreak Hotel Lyrics
Since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
Down on the edge of lonely street
Heartbreak Hotel
I'm so lonely baby
Just so lonely baby
I'm so lonely I could ...
The Bellhop's tears keep oozing;
The desk clerk's dressed in puss
It's been so long on lonely street
But that isn't unjust
He deserves it you know
He's so lonely baby
Just so lonely baby
He's so desolate
He could die
If your baby leaves you
And you can't find nowhere to dwell
Just take a walk down lonely street
To Heartbreak Hotel
'Cause when you do
You'll be so lonely baby
I swear, just so lonely darlin'
You'll be so miserable
You could die
I found a new place to dwell
Down on the edge of lonely street
Heartbreak Hotel
I'm so lonely baby
Just so lonely baby
I'm so lonely I could ...
The Bellhop's tears keep oozing;
The desk clerk's dressed in puss
It's been so long on lonely street
But that isn't unjust
He deserves it you know
He's so lonely baby
Just so lonely baby
He's so desolate
He could die
If your baby leaves you
And you can't find nowhere to dwell
Just take a walk down lonely street
To Heartbreak Hotel
'Cause when you do
You'll be so lonely baby
I swear, just so lonely darlin'
You'll be so miserable
You could die

Genius Annotation
This cover of Elvis Presley’s first hit actually more closely resembles John Cale’s cover, as appeared on Cale’s album “Slow Dazzle.” You can see some of Robyn Hitchcock’s more, let’s say, exact substitutions of some of the lyrics here.
