Why Bother?

I know I should get next to you

You got a look that made me think you're cool

But it's just sexual attraction

Not somethin' real so I'd rather keep wackin'

Why bother? It's gonna hurt me

It's gonna kill when you desert me

This happened to me twice before

It won't happen to me anymore

I've known a lot of girls before

What's the harm in knowin' one more?

Maybe we could even get together

Maybe you could break my heart next summer

Why bother? It's gonna hurt me

It's gonna kill when you desert me

This happened to me twice before

It won't happen to me anymore

It's a crying shame I'm all alone

Not with you, nor her, nor anyone

Won't you knock me on my head?

Crack it open, let me outta here

Why bother? It's gonna hurt me

It's gonna kill when you desert me

This happened to me twice before

It won't happen to me anymore

(Why bother?) Why bother?

(It's gonna hurt me) It's gonna hurt me

(It's gonna kill when) Why bother?

(You desert me) It's gonna hurt me

(Why bother?) Why bother?

(It's gonna hurt me) It's gonna hurt me

Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
