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

Well, I'll be
Heartbreak is 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

I'll be so
Heartbreak is so lonely baby
It'll make you so lonely
Ah they're so lonely they could die

Now, the bellhop's tears keep flowin'
And the desk clerk's dressed in black
Well they been so long on lonely street
They'll never ever look back

It'll make you so
It'll make you so lonely baby
Well, they're so lonely
They're so lonely they could die

Hey now, if your baby leaves you
And you've got a tale to tell
Well just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak Hotel

Where you will be
Heartbreak is so lonely, baby
Well, you will be lonely
You'll be so lonely you could die

<instrumental interlude>

Although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom

It'll make you so
Heartbreak is so lonely baby
Well, they're so lonely
They'll be so lonely they could die
