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 smokey
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
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 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, baby
Just gimme a chance,
gimme a chance
To show you 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 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
'Til your little
heart is on the mend
