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 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 anymore. I've known a lotta girls before What's the harm in knowing 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. (Yeah!) 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) Gonna hurt me. (Why bother) Why bother? (It's gonna hurt me) It's gonna hurt me. Why bother? It's gonna hurt me.
