This is the heartbreak hotel

This is the heartbreak hotel

This is the heartbreak hotel

This is the heartbreak hotel (oh, yeah)

This is the heartbreak hotel

This is the heartbreak hotel

This is the heartbreak hotel (yeah, oh yeah)

This is the heartbreak hotel

You said

You'd be here by nine

Instead you took your time

You didn't think to call me, boy

Here I sit

Trying not to cry

Asking myself why

You do this to me, yeah, baby

Since you're not around for me to tell you, baby, face to face

I'm writing you this letter

And this is what I have to say:

All I really wanted was some of you time

Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind

What you do to me

(What you do)

Look what you did to me

(Oh, baby)

I thought that you were someone who would do me right (do me right)

Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry (made me cry)

What you do to me

(Oh, oh, oh, ooohhh)

Can't take what you did to me

Now I see

That you've been doing wrong

Played me all along

And made a fool of me, baby, ah

You've got it all wrong to think

That I wouldn't find out

That you were cheating on me, baby

How could you do it to me?

(Mmm, yeah)

Since you're not around for me to tell you, baby

Face to face (mmm)

I\'m writing you this letter

And this is what I have to say:

All I really wanted was some of you time

Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind

What you do to me

(All you did was lie to me)

Look what you did to me

(Can\'t believe what you did to me)

I thought that you were someone who would do me right (ohh, ohh)

Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry

What you do to me

(Why'd you do it?)

Can't take what you did to me

(You didn't have to do it to me, baby)

Heartbreak hotel (Ohh)

This is the heartbreak hotel (Ohh)

This is the heartbreak hotel (Oh)

This is the heartbreak hotel (Ohh)

This is the heartbreak hotel (This is the heartbreak)

This is the heartbreak hotel (This is the heartbreak)

This is the heartbreak hotel (Why, why'd you do it?) (Yeah, yeah)

This is the heartbreak hotel

All I really wanted

All I really wanted was some of you time (oh, baby)

Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind

What you do to me

(All I really wanted, ah)

Look what you did to me

(All I really wanted, baby)

I thought that you were someone who would do me right

Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry

What you do to me

(Can't take it no more)

Can't take what you did to me

(I wanted your love)

All I really wanted was some of you time (all I really wanted)

Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind (instead you told me lies

What you do to me

(Can't take it no more)

Look what you did to me

(Why did you do me that way?)

I felt that you were someone who would do me right (would do me right)

Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry (and you made me cry)

What you do to me

Can't take what you did to me

I ain't gonna take it

I ain't gonna take it no more

I ain't gonna take it, boy

I ain't gonna take it no more

Ohh, everything that you said was a lie

Don't lie to me

Tell me what it is and I'll be alright
