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