[Verse 1]
I know I should get next to you
You got a look that makes me think you're cool
But it's just s**ual attraction
Not somethin' real so I'd rather keep wackin'
[Chorus]
Why bother?
It's gonna hurt me
It's gonna k** when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Why bother?
It's gonna hurt me
It's gonna k** when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Why bother?
It's gonna hurt me
It's gonna k** when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore
[Outro](x3.66)
Why bother?
It's gonna hurt me
It's gonna k** when you desert me
