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
