The tables are empty the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song
It's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson in learnin' the blues
The cigarettes you light one after another
Won't help you forget her
And the way that you love her
You're only burnin' a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track for learnin' the blues
When you're at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd
The blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep
The whole night you're cryin'
But you can't forget her soon you even stop tryin'
You'll walk that floor and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break. you're learnin' the blues
When you're at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd,
The blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep
The whole night you're cryin'
But you can't forget her soon you even stop tryin'
You'll walk that floor and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' the blues
When you're out in a crowd
The blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep
The whole night you're cryin'
When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' the blues
