Ella Fitzgerald — Learnin' the Blues lyrics

Lyrics

The tables are empty — the dance floors deserted
You play the same love song — its the tenth time youve heard it Thats the beginning — just one of the clues
Youve had your first lesson — in learnin the blues
The cigarettes you light — one after another
Wont help you forget her — and the way that you love her
Youre only burning — a torch you cant lose
But youre on the right track — for learnin the blues
When youre at home alone, the blues will taunt you — constantly
When youre out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you dont sleep — the whole night youre crying
You just cant forget her — soon you even stop trying
Youll walk the floor — and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break — youre learnin the (those) blues
