The tables are empty, the dance floor´s deserted. You play the same love song - it´s the 10th 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 crying. But you can´t forget her, soon you even stop trying. You´ll walk that floor and wear out your shoes.
When you feel your heart break, you´re learnin´ the blues.
