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
