Used to be so easy to give my heart away

But I found out the hard way, there's a price you have to pay

I found out that love was no friend of mine

I should have known time after time

So long, it was so long ago, but I've still got the blues for you

Used to be so easy to fall in love again

But I found out the hard way, it's a road that leads to pain

I found that love was more than just a game

You're playin' to win, but you lose just the same

So long, it was so long ago, but I've still got the blues for you

So many years since I've seen your face

Here in my heart, there's an empty space where you used to be

(I still got the blues)

So long, it was so long ago, but I've still got the blues for you

Though the days come and go, there is one thing I know
