[Alicia]: The tables are empty, the dance floor's deserted. You play the same love song - it's the 10th time you've heard it.
[Frank]: That's the beginning, just one of the clues. You've had your first lesson in learnin' the blues.
[Alicia]: The cigarettes you light, one after another, Won't help you forget her, and the way that you love her.
[Frank]: You're only burnin' a torch you can't lose. But you're on the right track for learnin' the blues.
[Alicia]: 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.
[Frank]: The nights when you don't sleep, the whole night you're crying. [Alicia]: But you can't forget her, [Frank]: soon you even stop trying. [Alicia & Frank]: You'll walk that floor and wear out your shoes. [Alicia]: When you feel your heart break, you're learnin' the blues.
[Frank]: When you're at home alone, The blues will taunt you constantly. [Alicia]: When you're out in a crowd, Those blues will haunt your memory.
