The A to Z of Whitney Houston

Heartbreak Hotel

Heartbreak Hotel

    This is the heartbreak hotel
    This is the heartbreak hotel
    This is the heartbreak hotel
    This is the heartbreak hotel

    You said you'd be here by 9
    Instead you took your time
    You didn't think to call me, boy
    Here I sit, tryin' not to cry
    Askin' myself why
    You'd do this to me

    Since you're not around for me to tell you baby face to face
    I'm writin' you this letter, and this is what I have to say

    All I really wanted was some of your time
    Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
    What you do to me, look what you did to me
    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 what you did to me

    Now I see that you've been doin' wrong
    You played me all along
    And made a fool of me, baby
    You got it all wrong to think that I wouldn't find out
    (Uh!)
    That you were cheatin' on me baby
    How could you do it to me

    Since you're not around for me to tell you baby face to face
    I'm writin' you this letter, and this is what I have to say

    All I really wanted was some of your time
    Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind (what you did...)
    What you do to me, look what you did to me
    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 (why you do it?), can't take what you did to me (you didn't have to do it to me, baby)

    This is the heartbreak hotel
    This is the heartbreak hotel
    This is the heartbreak hotel
    This is the heartbreak hotel

    All I really wanted was some of your time
    Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
    What you do to me, look what you did to me
    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 what you did to me

    All I really wanted was some of your time
    Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
    What you do to me, look what you did to me
    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 what you did to me
    I ain't gon' take it..... I ain't gon' take it boy
