Don Henley - Last Worthless Evening Lyrics

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 smoky rooms
You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes
But it never blooms

And I've been around this block
A time or two
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, baby
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
Till 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, again

This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend
'Cause it won't be long
Till your broken heart is on the mend
