Song Description

Lyrics

Worthwhile

Take my number when you leave
Give me a reason to believe
I?ll see your face again
Glance my way and make me smile
You already made my evening worthwhile
Although you?ll never know

Your beauty is burned in my brain
I?ll close my eyes to see you again

Waste my time just scheming
My whole life I?ve been dreaming
I should take hold of your hand
But I doubt you?d understand

Give me your number when you leave
Then I?ll be certain to believe
I?ll see your face again
Maybe then I?ll make you smile
I?ll say, ?You made my evening worthwhile?
I?d like to let you know

Your beauty is burned in my brain
I'll close my eyes and see you again
And you know, like winter brings snow
My heart will be stone till you shine on me - oh-oh-oh

Waste my time just scheming
My whole life I?ve been dreaming
I should take hold of your hand?

But why would you want me? I'm not rich or nothing
(He's not even in a band!)

If every day could start with your smile
You know it would make my living worthwhile
So don't get up to go

Your beauty
Is burned in my brain
I'll close my eyes
You're burned in my brain
But why would you want me? I'm not rich or nothing
But why would you want me? I'm not rich or nothing
But why would you want me? I'm not rich or nothing
(But why would you want me? I'm not rich or nothing)
