Just Because

[Intro]

Ah, remember this

Why, I must have been thirteen when this came out

Or was it fourteen, or was it twenty-two

I could have been twelve actually

[Verse 1]

Just because you left and said goodbye

Do you think that I will sit and cry?

Even if my heart should tell me so

Darling, I would rather let you go

[Verse 2]

Just because I want someone who's kind

With a heart as good and pure as mine

But maybe I am asking far too much

Darling, please don't ever break my heart

[Bridge]

I know you think you're smart

Just running around and breaking lovers' hearts

[Verse 1]

Just because you left and said goodbye

Hey, do you think that I will sit and cry?

Even if my heart should tell me so

Darling, I would rather let you go

[Outro]

It’s too late darling, you just gotta say goodbye

Why, the last time I saw you, you were wearing man’s clothes

Not that I’m prejudiced, but you know

I had problems with the zipper

But who am I to hassle you like this?

I’m just gonna have to let you go

There’s two basses in this, I hope you appreciate it

This is Dr. Winston O' Boogie saying goodnight

From Record Plant East, New York

We hope you had a swell time

Everybody here says "Hi"

Goodbye

Just because you left and said goodbye

Do you think that I will sit and cry?

Even if my heart should tell me so

Darling, I would rather let you go

Goodbye, so long

Been a long year

Alright
