Lyrics

Heartbreak Hotel

Words & music by Mae B. Axton - Tommy Durden - Elvis Presley Since my baby left me, I found a new place to dwell. Down at the end of lonely street: Heartbreak Hotel. Oh Feeling so lonely baby, Feeling so lonely baby, Feeling so lonely baby, I could die. The bell hop's tears keep flowin' The desk clerk's dressed in black. They been so long on lonely street They never will get back. Oh, Cause they're feeling so lonely baby, Feeling so lonely baby, Feeling so lonely baby, They could die. So if your baby leaves you, And you have a tale to tell Why not just take a walk down lonely street Straight to Heartbreak Hotel. Where you could be so lonely And I could be so lonely We could be so lonely, we could die
