Well, since my baby left me
Well, I found a new place to dwell
It's down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel where I'll be

Oh, I'll be so lonely, baby
I get so lonely
Well, I get so lonely I could die

Well, although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry away their gloom

Oh, I'll be so lonely, baby
I get so lonely
Well, I get so lonely I could die

Well, the bell hop's tears keep flowin'
The desk clerk's dressed in black
They been so long on Lonely Street
They ain't ever gonna look back and I'll be

Well, I'll be so lonely, baby
I get so lonely
Well, I be so lonely I could die

Hey now, if your baby leaves you
And you need a place to dwell
Go down to the end of Lonely street
To Heartbreak hotel

Well, I'll be so lonely, baby
I get so lonely
Well, I be so lonely I could die

Well, the bell hop's tears keep flowin'
The desk clerk's dressed in black
They been so long on Lonely Street
They ain't ever gonna look back

Well, I'll be so lonely, baby
I'm so lonely
Well, I'm so lonely I could die

Well, if your baby leaves you
And you need a place to dwell
Go down to the end of Lonely street
To Heartbreak hotel
