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 REALISE
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
'TIL YOUR LITTLE HEART
IS ON THE MEND
HEY, HEY, HEY
HEY, HEY, HEY
TICKIN' AWAY
TICKIN' AWAY
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, BABE
AND JUST SO MANY SPRINGS
AND THIS IS THE LAST
WORTHLESS EVENING THAT
YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEND, BABE
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
YEAH, HEY, YEAH
HEY, HEY, YEAH
UH-HUH
THAT YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEND
JUST GIMME A CHANCE, DARLIN'
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
