[Verse]
I know I should get next to you
You got a look that makes me think you're cool
I know it's not just sexual attraction
Something real that I know I'm lackin'

[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]
I've known a lot of girls before
What's the harm in knowing one more?
Maybe even we could get together
Maybe you could break my heart next summer

[Chorus]
Why bother? It's gonna hurt mе
It's gonna kill when you desert mе
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore

[Verse]
It's a crying shame I can't talk to you
It's not a matter of fear, I don't [?] baby
Won't you knock me on my head?
Crack it open, let me out of here, now
[Bridge]
Don't bother, it's gonna hurt me
It's gonna kill when you desert me
Don't you 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!

[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
