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 Well, I'll be I'll be so lonely baby Well, I'm so lonely I'll be so lonely, I 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 They'll be so They'll be so lonely, baby Well, they're so lonely They're so lonely, they could die You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Jumpin' at my door You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine Uh, I'm all shook up A well I bless my soul What's wrong with me? I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug I'm in love I'm all shook up Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah! My hands are shaky and my knees are weak I can't seem to stand on my own two feet Who do you thank when you have such luck? I'm in love I'm all shook up Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah! Please don't ask me what's on my mind I'm a little mixed up, but I'm feelin' fine When I'm near that girl that I love best My heart beats so it scares me to death! She touched my hand what a chill I got Her lips are like a vulcano that's hot I'm proud to say she's my buttercup I'm in love I'm all shook up Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!

“Heartbreak Hotel” foi o primeiro número‑um de Elvis Presley pelo selo RCA e apenas a segunda canção que ele gravou para a gravadora.
A gravação, feita em janeiro de 1956 em Nashville, contou com Chet Atkins na guitarra rítmica, Bill Black no contrabaixo, Scotty Moore na guitarra elétrica, D.J. Fontana na bateria e Floyd Cramer ao piano.
Apesar das objeções iniciais da RCA quanto à qualidade do som, a versão de Nashville acabou sendo escolhida e o single foi lançado nos EUA em 27 de janeiro de 1956, com “I Was the One” como lado B.
O single tornou‑se o álbum mais vendido de 1956 e consolidou “Heartbreak Hotel” como a canção com a qual Elvis é mais associado.
A inspiração para a letra veio de um professor de inglês do Texas que leu em jornal o bilhete de suicídio contendo a frase “I walk a lonely street”, ideia que foi desenvolvida por Mae Axton e Tom Durden, chegando a gravar um demo com Glenn Reeves para Elvis ouvir.
