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 the other
Won't help you forget him
When you're losing your lover
You're only burning
A torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track
For learnin' the blues
When you're out in a crowd, 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 cannot forget him
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
