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 that floor
And wear out your 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, those 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' those blues
