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 myself
You can't be with someone new
And you can't go
back to him
You're beginning to realize
That it's sink or swim
I see you around
sometimes
And my heart just melts
You're lookin' like if you had your wish
You'd be
somewhere else
And it just breaks my heart
To see you here this way
Someday i'll get
the nerve
To walk up to you and say
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll
have to spend
Just gimme a chance
To show you how to love again
This is the last
worthless evening
That you'll have to spend
'cause i'll be there
When your broken
heart is on the mend
Every night it's the same old crowd
In smoky rooms
You catch a
faint glimpse of love sometimes
But it never blooms
I've been around this block a time or
two
And i've made some big mistakes
But girl i promise you, i promise you
That this
is the worthless evening
That you'll have to spend
Just gimme a chance
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
'till your little heart is on the mend
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 anything
But there're just so many
summers
And just so many springs
And this is the last worthless evening
That you'll
have to spend
Just gimme a chance to show you how
To love again
This is the last
worthless evening
That you'll have to spend, baby
'cause i'll be there when your broken
heart
Is on the mend
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to
spend
Just gimme a chance, gimme a chance
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 little
heart is on the mend
