Why Bother Lyrics

I know I should get next to you
You got a look that makes me think you're cool
But it's just sexual attraction
Not something real so I'd rather keep whackin'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 anymoreI'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 summerWhy 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 anymoreIt's a cryin' 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 hereWhy 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 anymoreWhy bother? It's gonna hurt me
It's gonna kill when you desert me
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
