Just Because
[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
Darling, 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 asking for too much
Darling, please don't ever break my heart

I know you think you're smart
Just running around 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
Darling, I would rather let you go

Uh uh uh

[It's too late, darling.
This has got so bad.
Why am I asking you so?
You were wearing that scorns.
Not that I'm mad at this, cos you know, I had rather didn't see it.
But who am I to ask you to look like this?
I guess I'll just have to let you go.
There's two basic on this, I hope you appreciate it.
This is Doctor Winston o'boggie 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

Uh uh uh
Goodbye!
Uh uh uh uh uh
So long!
Been a long year! (fade out)
