Lyrics

[Verse 1] The tables are empty The dance floor's deserted You play the same love song It's the 10th time you've heard it [Chorus] That's the beginning Just one of the clues You've had your first lesson In learnin' the blues [Verse 2] The cigarettes you light One after another Won't help you forget her And the way that you love her [Chorus] You're only burnin' A torch you can't lose But you're on the right track For learnin' the blues [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] The nights when you don't sleep The whole night you're crying But you can't forget her Soon you even stop trying [Chorus] You'll walk that floor And wear out your shoes When you feel your heart break You're learnin' the blues [Bridge] When you're at home alone The blues will taunt you constantly When you're out in a crowd Those blues will haunt your memory [Verse 4] The nights when you don't sleep That whole night you're crying But you can't forget her Soon you even stop trying [Chorus] You'll walk the floor And you'll wear out your shoes When you feel your heart break You're learnin' those blues
