Heartbreak Hotel (Live at Richmond Coliseum, Richmond, VA - April 10, 1972) Lyrics

"Heartbreak Hotel"

Well, since my baby left me
Found a new place to dwell
Well, it's down at the end of Lonely Street
At heartbreak hotel

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

Well, although it's always crowded
"Come back to 'em"
Have some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom

And be so, be so lonely baby
Be so lonely
They'll be so lonely, they could die
Play it James

Well now, if your baby leaves you
And you need a place to dwell
Take a walk down Lonely Street
To heartbreak hotel

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

"Thank you, very much, thankyou
Then I was on the Ed Sullivan show in 1956
And they filmed me from the waist up, you know, remember that, black and white
I had side-burns before The Stamps were shaving
They thought I was a little weird
Before those 'Spirations too"
