Why Bother?

(álbum: Pinkerton - 1996)

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 wacking

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 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? 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
Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
