Elvis | The Ed Sullivan Show | "Don't Be Cruel" | 1956

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


Oh, although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom


They'll be so
They'll be so lonely, baby
Well, they're so lonely
They're so lonely, they could die


Now, the bell hop's tears keep flowin'
And the desk clerk's dressed in black
Well, they been so long on Lonely Street
They'll never ever look back


And it's so
Well, it's so lonely baby
Well,...

Well, it's one for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go, cat, go
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything but lay off
Of my blue suede shoes

Well, you can knock me down, step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes?
You can do anything but lay off
Of my blue suede shoes

You can burn my house, steal my car
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes?
You can...

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds (suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes

Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying (these crying)

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds (suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh, let our love survive
Or dry the tears from...
