Lyrics of This Place Hotel (a.k.a. Heartbreak Hotel) by The Jacksons
verse
Live and sin
Ten years ago on this day, my heart was yearning
I promised I would never ever be returning
Where my baby broke my heart and left me yearning
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
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
This is Heartbreak Hotel
Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel
So this is Heartbreak Hotel
This place is Heartbreak Hotel
verse
Hope is dead
She thought that I had cheated for another lover
I turn my back to see that I′m an 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
This is you and me
Then the man next door had told
He′s been here in tears for fifteen years
This is scaring me
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
verse
Someone′s stabbin' 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 stabbin' my heart (Heartbreak Hotel)
This is Heartbreak Hotel (Heartbreak Hotel)
Ten years ago today (Heartbreak Hotel)
Hurting my mind (Heartbreak Hotel)
You break my baby′s heart (Heartbreak Hotel)
This is Heartbreak Hotel (Heartbreak Hotel)
Just welcome to the scene
