[quote=Anonymous]PP here...can't beat Don Henley and Billy Joel for lyrics.

Fine example, Henley's "Last Worthless Evening"

(try not to cry.  resonated with me about the time I met my now husband and was on the rebound)

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 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 
'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 
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 
'Til your little heart is on the mend

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[/quote]
