from their album, "Pinkerton" (Capo 1) [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] 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
