Just Because (album and reprise Versions Edited Together) Songtext
von John Lennon

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
