Why Bother?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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) It's gonna hurt me
(Why bother?) Why bother?
(It's gonna hurt me) It's gonna hurt me
Why bother?
It's gonna hurt me
