Used to be so easy

To give my heart away

But I found out the hard way

There's a price you have to pay

I found out that love

Was no friend of mine

I should have known

Time after time

So long, it was so long ago

But I've still got the blues for you

Used to be so easy

To fall in love again

But I found out the hard way

It's a road that leads to pain

I found out that love

Was more than just a game

You're playing to win

But you'll lose just the same

So long, it was so long ago

But I've still got the blues for you

So many years

Since I've seen your face

But here in my heart

There's an empty space you used to be

So long, it was so long ago

But I've still got the blues for you

Though the days come and go

There is one thing I know...

I've still got the blues for you
