Just Because lyrics

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

Just because you left and said goodbye

Do you think that I will sit and cry?

Even if my heart should tell me so

Darlin', I would rather let you go

Just because I want someone who's kind

With a heart as good and pure as mine

But maybe I am askin' for too much

Darlin', please don't ever break my heart

I know you think you're smart

Just runnin' around and breaking lovers' hearts

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

Darlin', I would rather let you go

This is Dr. Winston O' Boggie saying goodnight

From record plant east, New York

We hope you had a swell time

Ev'rybody 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

Darlin', I would rather let you go

Goodbye, so long

Been a long year
