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

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' far too much

Darlin', please don't ever break my heart

I know you think you're smart

Just runnin' around and breakin' 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

Woo-oo, hoo

Since you've been gone

You just got a soul vibe

Why the last time I saw you

You're wearin' man's clothes

Not that I am prejudiced

'Cause, 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 sayin' "Goodnight"

From Record Plant East, New York

We hope you had a swell time

Ev'rybody here say "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

Woo-oo, hoo

Goodbye

Woo-oo, hoo-oo-oo

So long

Been a long year
