Just Because
Lennon, John
Rock'n'roll (1975)

"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 runnin' around breaking lovers hearts.

Just because you left ...

"This is doctor 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 ...

Goodbye!
So long!
Been a long year!
