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 can't forget her, soon you even stop trying

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

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

When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' the blues
