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 him and the way that you love him You're only burnin' 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,
