The Last Worthless Evening (The End The Innocence 1989)
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 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 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 (Time, time, tickin', tickin', tickin' away) (Time, time, tickin', tickin', tickin') (Time, time, tickin', tickin', tickin' away) (Time, time, tickin', tickin', tickin')
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, gimme a chance To show you how 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, darling 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
