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
At heartbreak hotel.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
And although it’s always crowded,
You still can find some room.
Where broken hearted lovers
Do cry away their gloom.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
Well, the bell hop’s tears keep flowin’,
And the desk clerk’s dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain’t ever gonna look back.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
And you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
To heartbreak hotel.
I found a new place to dwell.
It’s down at the end of lonely street
At heartbreak hotel.
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
You still can find some room.
Where broken hearted lovers
Do cry away their gloom.
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
And the desk clerk’s dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They ain’t ever gonna look back.
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
And you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
To heartbreak hotel.

when he hits those low-key notes, its freaking amazing, and addictive(sounding like a woman here, help)
Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis. Without them we wouldn't have rock today.
This song is incredible.
this song is very creepy, & hauting, I love it.
A great blues song. I especially like the reverberated vocals and guitar solo. My personal favorite by Elvis.
I love Elvis. A bit sad considering my fav band is Linkin Park. Well not sad. Scary really :P. Brilliant song, brilliant man
syko, why is it sad to love Elvis, "before Elvis there was nothing" John Lennon. Also, without Elvis, you wouldn't have LP.
Anyway, the song is obviously a metphor for being lonley with other lonely people which may make you not so lonley after being dumped. miserly loves company?
I think it's the only song he can ever be credited as co-writing as well. I wonder which bits he wrote. Brilliant stuff.
John Cale also does a great version of this song. Catch it if you can.
Only 8 comments ?!? Here b/c I just came from the tour of RCA Studio B in Nashville. Scotty Moore’s guitar and Elvis’s vocals - man.. to have been in the sheer presence of this was amazing to me.
A pioneer of the ages. There will never be another.
