Lyrics
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 lot of 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 out of 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) Why bother (it's gonna kill when) It's gonna hurt me (you desert me) Why bother (why bother) It's gonna hurt me (it's gonna hurt me) (Ahh!) Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
