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

'Cuz 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 crying

You can't forget her soon you even stop trying

You'll walk the floor

And wear out those new 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 crying

You can't forget her soon you even stop trying

You'll walk the floor and wear out your shoes

When you feel your heart break

You're learnin' the blues

When you feel your heart break

You're learnin' the blues
