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 burning — 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
You just 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
