Now since my baby left me I've found a new place to
dwell:down at the end of Lonely Street at
Heartbreak Hotel.
I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely,
I'm so lonely that I could die.
And tho' it's always crowded you can still find some room
for broken hearted lovers to cry there in the gloom
and be so lonely, oh so lonely,
oh so lonely they could die.
The bell hop's tears keep flowing, the desk clerk's dressed
in black.
They been so long on Lonely Sreet they never will go back
and they're so lonely, oh they're so lonely,
they're so lonely they pray to die.
So if your baby leaves and you have a tale to tell
just take a walk down Lonely Street to Heartbreak Hotel
where you'll be lonely and I'll be lonely,
we'll be so lonely that we could die.
