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