HEARTBREAK HOTEL
(Mae Boren Axton - Tommy Durden - Elvis Presley)
« © '56 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Now since my baby left me well I've found a new place to dwell
Down at the end on Lonely Street at Heartbreak Hotel
Well I'll be so lonely baby I'll be so lonely
I'll be so lonely I could die
Well though it's always crowded you still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers to cry there in the gloom
But they'll be so lonely baby they'll be so lonely
Oh they're so lonely they could die
The bellhop's tears keep flowing the deskclerk's dressed in black
They've been so long on Lonely Street and they'll never go back
And they're so lonely oh they're so lonely
Well they're so lonely they pray to die
Well if your baby leaves you you've got a tale to tell
Just take a walk down Lonely Street to Heartbreak Hotel
Where you'll be so lonely baby well you'll be so lonely
They make you so lonely you could die
[ sax ]
Well though it's always crowded...

I ALMOST LOST MY MIND
(Ivory Joe Hunter)
« © '49 Unichappell Music, BMI »
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin since he left me behind
I went to see a gypsy and had my fortune read
I went to see a gypsy and I had my fortune read
I hung my head in sorrow when she said what she said
Well I can tell you people the news was not so good
Well I can tell you people the news was not so good
She said your baby's left you this time he's gone for good
(Gone for good) uh huh huh huh uh

I HEAR YOU KNOCKIN'
(Dave Bartholomew - Pearl King)
« © '55 Unart Catalog, BMI »
You went away and left me long time ago
And you're comin' back knockin' at my door
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I hear you knockin' go back where you been
I begged you not to go but still you said goodbye
And now you're comin' back tellin' all those your lies
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I hear you knockin' go back where you been
I told you don't go back long time ago
The day would come when you have listened so
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I hear you knockin' go back where you been
[ piano ]
You're gonna go back to your used to be
Because your love's not good to me
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I hear you knockin' I know where you been

JUST A DREAM
(Jimmy Clanton - Cosimo Matassa)
« © '59 Three Wise Boys Music, BMI »
Just a dream just a dream all our plans and all our schemes
How could I think you'd be mine the lies I'd tell myself each time
I know that we could never last we just can't seem to in the past
Just a dream I dream in vain with you I'd always live in pain
Your picture is always with me I can still hear that same mournful song
And now I sit here crying please leave me alone
Oh why oh why do I love you how can I live in misery
I know that I won't forget you but now I know it's too late for me
Your picture is always with me...
Oh why oh why do I love you...

IT'S ONLY MAKE BELIEVE
(Conway Twitty - Jack Nance)
« © '59 Tree Publishing, BMI »
People see us everywhere they all think you really care
But myself I can't deceive I know it's only make believe
My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care
My hopes my dreams come true my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My only prayer will be some day you'll care for me
But it's only make believe
My hopes my dreams come true my life I'd give for you
My heart or wedding ring my all my everything
My heart I can't control you lure my very soul
My only prayer will be some day you'll care for me
But it's only make believe
My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care
My hopes my dreams come true my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My plans my hopes my schemes you are my every dream
But it's only make believe
