HEARTBREAK HOTEL (THIS PLACE HOTEL)
(composer : Michael Jackson)
The Jacksons


Live in 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.
Hee-hee!

As we walked to 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 the 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.
(Ooh!)

This is Heartbreak Hotel!
Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel!
So this is Heartbreak Hotel!
This place is Heartbreak Hotel!

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!
Hee-hee!

Someone's evil to hurt my soul.
Every smile's a trial thought in beguile to hurt me!
This is scaring me!
Then the man next door had told
She's been here in tears for fifteen years!
This is scaring me!

We came to this place where the vicious dwelt,
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.
(Ugh!)

This is Heartbreak Hotel!
Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel!
So evil, Heartbreak Hotel!
This place is Heartbreak Hotel!
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)

Hoo!

(guitar solo)

Someone’s stabbin’ my heart!
(Heartbreak Hotel)
This is Heartbreak Hotel, hoo!
(Heartbreak Hotel)
Ten years ago today!
(Heartbreak Hotel)
Hurting my mind, hoo!
(Heartbreak Hotel)
You break my baby’s heart!
(Heartbreak Hotel)
This is Heartbreak Hotel!
(Heartbreak Hotel)
Just welcome to the scene, woo!
