The tables are empty
the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song
it's the 10th 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
the whole night you're crying
But you can't forget him
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
Yes The tables are empty
the dance floor's deserted
and You play the same love song
Oh yes
it's the 10th time
you've heard it
Man is the beginning
just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson
in learnin' the blues
Man the cigarettes that you light
one after another
Won't help you forget her
and the way
that you love her
You're only burnin' a torch
that 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
But you can't forget him
soon you even stop trying
Man You'll walk that floor
and wear out your shoes
When you feel
your heart break
That's when you learnin' the blues
Yes 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
But you 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
