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 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 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      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 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      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   It's gonna kill when you desert me   Why bother? It's gonna hurt me   Why bother? It's gonna hurt me
