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 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'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 Well, 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 You feel your heart break, you're learnin' the blues
