Why Bother?
Tabbed by Jason the Great (DAWgAWD@HoTMaiL.com)
it's recently come to my attention that this tab is absolutely horrible. don't even
bother with it. instead go to http://www.weezer.com and check out the tab they have,
it's much better.

| Wow... I can't believe nobody's commented on this. Haha, I can definitly relate to this song. Except the "rather be whackin'" part. But, yeah, I always see a guy or something that I think is cute and I'm like "whoa, I like him" but then I realize I don't know him. I think in this song Rivers is talking about little crushes that he doesn't wanna have because he knows it won't end well. | |

| I agree, this song is easy to relate to. All about crushes based on pure sexual attraction that wont end pretty, so why even try. | |
