Used to be so easy
To give my heart away
But I've found that
the hard way
Is a price you have to pay
I found that that love
Was no friend of mine
I should have known
Time after time

So long, it was so long ago
But I still got the blues
for you

Used to be so easy
To fall in love again
I've found that the hard way
It's a way that leads to pain
I've found that love
Was more than just a game
To play and to win
But to lose just the same

So long, it was so long ago
But I still got the blues
for you

So many years
Since I've seen your face
And now in my heart
There's an empty space
Where you used to be

Though the [bad word] and go
There's one thing I know
I still got the blues for you
