The Last Worthless Evening

I know you broke up with him
And your heart's still on the shelf
It's been over two years for me
And I'm still not quite myselfYou can't be with someone new
And you can't go back to him
You're beginning to realize
That it's sink or swimI see you around sometimes
And my heart just melts
You're lookin' like if you had your wish
You'd be somewhere elseAnd it just breaks my heart
To see you here this way
Someday I'll get the nerve
To walk up to you and sayThis is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend
Just gimme a chance
To show you how to love againThis is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend
'Cause I'll be there
When your broken heart is on the mendEvery night it's the same old crowd
Smoky rooms
You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes
But it never bloomsI've been around this block a time or two
And I've made some big mistakes
But girl I promise you, I promise you
This is the last worthless eveningThat you'll have to spend
Just gimme a chance
To show you how to love again
This is the last worthless eveningThat you'll have to spend
'Cause it won't be long
'Til your little heart is on the mend
Hey, hey, hey, hey
(Time, time, tickin', tickin', tickin' away)
(Time, time, tickin', tickin', tickin')
(Time, time, tickin', tickin', tickin' away)
(Time, time, tickin', tickin', tickin')People inside their houses
With the shades pulled down
God knows, we could use some romance
In this sleepy bedroom town
I know you're still afraid to rush into anythingBut there're just so many summers
And just so many springs
And this is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spendJust gimme a chance, gimme a chance
To show you how love again
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend'Cause it won't be long
'Til your little heart is on the mend
That you'll have to spendJust gimme a chance, darling
To show you how to love again
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend 'cause it won't be long'Til your broken heart is on the mend
