Lyric
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
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
Where I’ll be, I’ll be so lonely, baby
Well, I’m so lonely
I’ll be so lonely, I could die
Although it’s always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom
Be so, they’ll be so lonely, baby
They get so lonely
They’re so lonely, they could die
Now, the bellhop’s tears keep flowin’
And the desk clerk’s dressed in black
Well, they’ve been so long on Lonely Street
Well, they’ll never, they’ll never look back
And they get so, they get so lonely, baby
Well, they are so lonely
They’re so lonely, they could die
Well, now, if your baby leaves you
And you got a tale to tell
Well, just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak Hotel
Where you will be, you will be lonely, baby
Well, you will be lonely
You’ll be so lonely, you could die
Although it’s always crowded
But you still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom
Where they get so, they get so lonely, baby
Well, they’re so lonely
They’ll be so lonely, they could die
