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
