Learnin' the blues

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 (those) blues
