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

(Chorus)
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

(Chorus)

It's a crying shame
I'm all alone
Not with you, nor her, nor any woman
Won't you knock me on my head
Crack it open let me outta here

(Chorus)

Why bother, it's gonna hurt me
Why bother, it's gonna hurt me
Why bother, it's gonna hurt me
Why bother, it's gonna hurt me
