Lyrics
"Why Bother" (Vs. #1) Why do I bother with learning the rules? Why even bother if I'm destined to lose? Why do I bother feeling this way? Why even bother, it's become common-place? --- (Ch. #1) I'll speak for myself, It's the life I'm mean to lead. Go on and be somebody else, But don't bother being me. (No, no, no) --- (Vs. #2) Why do I bother with singing the blues? Why even bother if I like being used? Why do I bother inside of captivity? Why even bother to pretend that I'm free? --- (Ch. #2) Hell, I'll speak for myself, It's my life I'm meant to lead. Go off and be somebody else, But don't bother feeling me. (No, no, no) --- (Vs. #3) I'm not gonna bother with hiding away. Oh, I won't bother to suffer today. Not gonna bother avoiding the truth. Oh, I won't ever bother being in love with you. --- (Ch. #3) Yeah, I can speak for myself. There is a life I'm meant to lead. Go and be somebody... else. But don't bother being me. Yeah, you speak for yourself. You've got your own life to lead. Go and be whoever you wanna be. Why even bother with being me? You don't have to bother with me. Don't bother being me. Wouldn't dare bother being me. (2013 - Written by Christopher Bailey; Performed by S. Wells and C. Bailey - "Core")
