Heartbreak Hotel
Elvis Presley 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
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

"Heartbreak Hotel" is Elvis's first Number One for RCA and only the second song he recorded for the label. Chet Atkins played rhythm guitar. You can hear Bill Black's stand-up bass, Scotty Moore's electric guitar, D.J. Fontana's drums and Floyd Cramer's piano.
Recorded in January 1956 in Nashville, it was released as a single in the USA (with the B-side "I Was the One") on January 27, 1956.

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--where I get so lonely, baby
Well, I'm so lonely
I get so lonely, I could die
Although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in the gloom
And be so, where they'll be so lonely, baby
Well, they're so lonely
They'll be so lonely, they could die
Well, 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 get back
And they'll be so, where they'll be so lonely, baby
Well, they're so lonely
They'll be so lonely, they could die
Well now, if your baby leaves you
And you have a sad tale to tell
Just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak Hotel
And you will be, you will be, you will be lonely, baby
You'll be so lonely
You'll be so lonely, you could die
Well, though it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in the gloom
And they'll be so, they'll be so lonely, baby
They'll be so lonely
They'll be so lonely, they could die

Heartbreak Hotel (my interpretation of this exact version after detailed examination):
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 getting 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 the gloom
And be so-- they get so lonely, baby.
Well, they get so lonely.
Oh, 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,
They'll never, they'll never look back,
And they get so, and they get so lonely, baby.
Well, they're so lonely.
Well, they're so lonely, they could die.
Well now, if your baby leaves ya,
And you've gotta tale to tell,
Well, just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak Hotel,
Where you will be-- you could be getting so lonely, baby,
Where you will be lonely.
You'll be so lonely, you could die.
Oh, although it's always crowded,
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in the gloom,
And they'll get so-- and they'll be getting so lonely, baby.
Well, they're so lonely.
They'll be so lonely, they could die.

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
You make me so lonely baby
Well, I'm so lonely
I get so lonely I could die
[Verse 2]
Although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry away their gloom
And be so
[Chorus]
You make me so lonely baby
Well, I'm so lonely
I get so lonely I could die
[Verse 3]
Now the bellhop's tears keep flowing
The desk clerk's dressed in black
Well they've been so long on lonely street
They'll never look back
[Chorus]
You make me so lonely baby
Well, I'm so lonely
I get so lonely I could die
[Verse 4]
Well now, if your baby leaves you
And you got a tale to tell
Just take a walk down lonely street

This is such a special song.
Elvis was innovative with this record. It was written by 2 people who made a demo for an artist to sing it but no one saw potential in that song. Elvis was the only one who loved the record and who knew what he wanted to do with it. He recorded it and they said it sounded totally different from the Demo version. Everyone at the label told Elvis to not put that song out because it was too different from the typical rock and roll sound of the Era but Elvis insisted that this song would change rock and roll. Now it's one of the most famous rock songs and it inspired most of the artists who followed. Paul McCartney always said this song made him become a musician.
This is the proof that elvis was amongst the pioneers of rock and roll and was ahead of his time

Can we just talk how good this song is and not about how or when we got here.
