It's starting to drag
Wearing through my blue suede shoes
Matting the shag in the jungle room
I once was your king in the palace where we used to dwell
But Rome fell, now it's a heartbreak hotel

Now I've learned what the tears on your face meant
The table's turned and you've left me here in Graceland
I can't help that I fell in love with you
Please, baby don't be cruel

You marked my heart 'return to sender' when you split
Well who's gonna love me tender like you did
The mystery train swept you from the station
That would explain why there's a little less conversation

Now I've learned what the tears on your face meant
The table's turned and you've left me here in Graceland
I can't help that I fell in love with you
Please, baby don't be cruel

I was the one who was the devil in disguise
We couldn't go on with suspicious minds

Now I've learned what the tears on your face meant
The table's turned and you've left me here in Graceland
Love can burn, but there's simply no replacement
Please return 'cause I'm all alone in Graceland
I can't help that I fell in love with you
Please, baby don't be cruel
Don't be cruel
Please, baby don't be cruel
