[Verse 1]
Well, since my baby left me
Well, I found a new place to dwell
Well, it’s down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel
[Chorus]
Where I’ll be, I’ll be so lonely, baby
Well, I’m so lonely
I’ll be so lonely, I could die
[Verse 2]
Although it’s always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom
[Chorus]
They’ll be, they’ll be so lonely, baby
They’ll be so lonely
They’re so lonely, they could die
[Verse 3]
Now, the bellhop’s tears keep flowin’
And the desk clerk’s dressed in black
Well, they’ve been so long on Lonely Street
They’ll never, never look back

And you got a tale to tell
Well, just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak Hotel
[Chorus]
Where you will be, you will be, you’ll be so lonely, baby
Well, you will be lonely
You’ll be so lonely, you could die

They’ll be so lonely, they could die
