This Place Hotel (Live at Wembley Stadium, July 16, 1988) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Live in sin
Ten years ago on this day
My heart was yearning
I promised I would never ever be returning
When my baby broke my heart and left me yearning, woo
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, hoo

[Pre-Chorus]
We walked up the stairs
Still concealing 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]
(Heartbreak Hotel)
Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel
(Heartbreak Hotel)
Evil Heartbreak Hotel
[Verse 2]
Hope is dead
She thought that I had cheated for another lover
I turn my back to see that I'm undercover
Now I can't convince this girl there ain't no other
Someone's evil to hurt my soul
Every smile's a trial thought
In beguile to hurt me
Then the man next door had told
She's been here in tears for fifteen years
This is scaring me, woo

[Pre-Chorus]
We came to this place
Where the vicious dwel'
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]
(Heartbreak Hotel)
Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel
So evil Heartbreak Hotel
Evil Heartbreak Hotel
Someone's stabbin' my heart
(Heartbreak Hotel)
This is Heartbreak Hotel, hoo
(Heartbreak Hotel)
Ten years ago today
(Heartbreak Hotel)
That you broke my baby's heart, woo
(Heartbreak Hotel)
[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Someone's stabbin' my heart
(Heartbreak Hotel)
This is Heartbreak Hotel
(Heartbreak Hotel)
Ten years ago today
(Heartbreak Hotel)
That you broke my baby's heart
(Heartbreak Hotel)
OW, hee-hee
(Heartbreak Hotel)
This is Heartbreak Hotel
(Heartbreak Hotel)
Hoo
(Heartbreak Hotel)
Heartbreak Hotel
(Heartbreak Hotel)
