Intro

 

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 sexual attraction
Not something real so I'd rather keep wackin'

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

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 kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore

Solo

D Bm G A x2
  
   

Verse 3

It'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 here

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
[Outro] (Confusing Ending with Background Vocals)
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me (Why bother? It's gonna hurt me)
Why 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)
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
