Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Live in sin

Ten years ago on this day, my friend

I promised I would never ever be returning

Where my baby broke my heart and left me yearning

[Verse 2]

As we walked into the room

There were faces staring, glaring, tearing through me

Someone said, "Welcome to your doom"

Then they smiled with eyes that looked as if they knew me

This is scaring me

[PreChorus]

We walked up the stairs still concealing the gloom

There were two girls sitting in my room

She walked up to my face, said, "This is the place

You said meet you right here at noon"

[Chorus]

This is Heartbreak Hotel

Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel

So this is Heartbreak Hotel

This place is Heartbreak Hotel

[Verse 3]

Hope is dead

She thought that I had cheated for another lover

I turn my back to see that I am undercover

Now I can't convince this girl there ain't no other

[Verse 4]

Someone's evil to hurt my soul

Every smile's a trial thought in beguile to hurt me

This is scaring me

[Verse 5]

Then the man next door had told

She's been here in tears for fifteen years

This is scaring me

[PreChorus]

We came to this place where the vicious dwell

Found that wicked women run this strange hotel

There was Sefra and Sue, every girl that I knew

And my baby said, "Love is through"

[Chorus]

This is Heartbreak Hotel

Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel

So evil

Heartbreak Hotel

This place is Heartbreak Hotel

[Chorus]

Someone's got my heart

Heartbreak Hotel

This is Heartbreak Hotel

Heartbreak Hotel

Ten years ago today

Heartbreak Hotel

This is Heartbreak Hotel

Heartbreak Hotel

[Outro]

Someone's got my heart

Heartbreak Hotel

This is Heartbreak Hotel

Heartbreak Hotel

Ten years ago today

Heartbreak Hotel

Hurts in my mind

Heartbreak Hotel

You break your baby's heart

Heartbreak Hotel

This is Heartbreak Hotel

Heartbreak Hotel

Just what you do to me
