Lyrics
If the moon is gold, why bother?
And if the stars unfold, why bother?
There's no hope for you. He's seen you through now.
And if he looks your way again, why bother?
Lays it out so plain again, why bother trying not to show?
And if he takes your hand, lets you in on his grand plans, why bother?
Your walls are crumbling, words are fumbling.
And if he opens the door, why bother?
Wants to kiss more and more, why bother?
My mamma told me when I'm grown
I'll find a man to call my own
and when I do I'll have to fool him into loving me.
I practice in the mirror
making facing unclear,
but all the practice in the world goes out the door
With his sexy grin
and the dimple on his chin, why bother?
There's no hope for you your game is through now.
And if he opens the door, why bother?
Wants to kiss more and more, why bother?
And if he opens the door, why bother?
Wants to kiss more and more, why bother
trying not to show?
Trying not to fall in love.
