It Ain't Worth

mama always told her jenny girl
 one day it'll be right
 there's a man around the corner
 just waiting to hold you tight
 so she went to the local mixer
 she asked a boy to dance
 he turned around took a look her way
 and shook his head not a chance
 jenny bought a book of stamps
 and she wrote a dozen letters
 she mailed them out
 to her best friends brothers
 hopin that she might feel better
 she waited patiently
 for the postman to come by
 but the same thing always happened
 her mailbox was always dry
 it ain't worth all the time that passes by
 it ain't worth all the tears
 that she's been made to cry
 it ain't worth all the emptiness inside
 what's it all worth anyway
 jenny drove a pickup truck
 to the public high school every morning
 and all cheerleaders laughed at her
 when they saw her clothes were torn
 the senior prom came and went
 jenny and johnny walker spent a quiet
 night at home with the silent phone
 CHORUS
 it makes you wonder when comes the
 stolen night with all the words you long
 to hear
 underneath a starry sky
 he whispers softly in your ear
 you're the only one
 who makes this all seem clear
 jenny never saw the day
 what's it all worth anyway
