Katie Melua - Learnin' The Blues lyrics

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

when you're losing your lover.

You're only burning

a torch you can't lose.

But you're on the right track

for learnin' the blues.

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.

The nights when you don't sleep

the whole night you're crying.

You just can't forget him

soon you even stop trying.

You'll walk the floor

and wear out your shoes.

When you feel your heart break

you're learnin' the blues.
