John Lennon - Just Because lyrics

By Lloyd Price

"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 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 -

"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 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, SO LONG!

BEEN A LONG YEAR!
