John Lennon — Just Because

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Just because I want someone who's kind With a heart as good and pure as mine But maybe I am asking far too much Darling, please don't ever break my heart [Bridge] I know you think you're smart Just running around and breaking lovers' hearts [Verse 1] 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 [Outro] It’s too late darling, you just gotta say goodbye Why, the last time I saw you, you were wearing man’s clothes Not that I’m prejudiced, but you know I had problems with the zippers 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 saying goodnight From Record Plant East, New York We hope you had a swell time Everybody 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 Goodbye, so long Been a long year Alright
