Learnin’ the Blues

[Verse 1]

The tables are empty

The dance floor's deserted

You play the same love song

It's the tenth time you've heard it

[Verse 2]

That's the beginning

Just one of the clues

You've had your first lesson

In learnin' the blues

[Verse 3]

The cigarettes you light

One after the other

Won't help you forget him

When you're loosing your lover

[Verse 4]

You're only burning

A torch you can't lose

But you're on the right track

For learnin' the blues

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

The night when you don't sleep

The whole night you're crying

But you cannot forget him

Soon you even stop trying

[Verse 7]

You walk the floor

And wear out your shoes

When you feel your heart break

You're learnin' the blues
