Ella Fitzgerald Learnin` The Blues Lyrics

Learnin` The Blues Lyrics

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 her, and the way that you love her.
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 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.

When you`re at home alone,
The blues will taunt you constantly.
When you`re out in a crowd,
Those blues will haunt your memory.

The nights when you don`t sleep, that whole night you`re crying.
But you can`t forget her, soon you even stop trying.
You`ll walk the floor, and you`ll wear out your shoes.
When you feel your heart break, you`re learnin` those blues.
