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 that love

was more than just a game

you're playin to win

but you 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

here in my heart

there's an empty space

where 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
