About Hotel Yorba

"Hotel Yorba" is the lead single from White Blood Cells, by The White Stripes, and their first single to be released commercially. It was released in November 2001. It has a country feel and an upbeat vibe. The Hotel Yorba is a former hotel in southwest Detroit that is now used as government subsidized housing, and the single version was recorded in a room there. The White Stripes shot much of the song's music video outside the hotel, but were denied permission to film inside; according to Jack White .

Hotel Yorba Lyrics

[00:04.71] I was watching
[00:07.10] With one eye on the other side
[00:09.91] I had fifteen people tellin' me to move
[00:12.23] I got movin' on my mind
[00:14.38] I found shelter
[00:16.85] In some thoughts turning wheels around
[00:19.52] I said thirty-nine times that I love you
[00:21.92] To the beauty I had found
[00:24.18] Well, it's one, two, three, four
[00:26.29] Take the elevator at the Hotel Yorba
[00:28.40] I'll be glad to see you later
[00:30.33] All they got inside is vacancy
[00:33.00]
[00:44.16] I've been thinking
[00:46.46] Of a little place down by the lake
[00:49.30] They got a dirty old road leading up to the house
[00:51.73] I wonder how long it will take
[00:53.68] Till we're alone
[00:56.58] Sittin' on the front porch of that home
[00:59.36] Stompin' our feet on the wooden boards
[01:01.83] Never gotta worry 'bout locking the door
[01:04.13] Well, it's one, two, three, four
[01:05.64] Take the elevator at the Hotel Yorba
[01:07.97] I'll be glad to see you later
[01:09.75] All they got inside is vacancy
[01:13.66]
[01:24.30] It might sound silly
[01:26.99] For me to think childish thoughts like these
[01:30.34] But I'm so tired of acting tough
[01:32.37] And I'm gonna do what I please
[01:34.71] Let's get married
[01:36.97] In a big cathedral by a priest
[01:39.88] 'Cause if I'm the man that you love the most
[01:42.31] You could say, "I do" at least
[01:44.67] Well, it's one, two, three, four
[01:46.30] Take the elevator at the Hotel Yorba
[01:48.65] I'll be glad to see you later
[01:50.44] All they got inside is vacancy
[01:54.45] And it's four, five, six, seven
[01:56.37] Grab your umbrella and grab hold of me
[01:58.37] 'Cause I'm your favorite fella
[02:00.34] All they got inside is vacancy
[02:05.68]
