JUST BECAUSE

(Timothy Brickley & David Rheins)

Just because I wear glasses and I’ve had a couple of classes

in philosophy,  it doesn’t mean that she’s not the girl for me.

When we get together, you, you don’t talk to me

and whether it’s just this thing with you,

why don’t you do what you want to?

   Just because, just because.

   You’re the answer to my pleas.

   You’re my favorite girlfriend, just because,

   You’re my favorite girlfriend, just because.

Just because you go to movies

with guys you meet in the parking lot,

it doesn’t mean you like them

and even if it does,

you’re my favorite girlfriend, just because.

You’re my favorite girlfriend, just because.

Just because I’m dependent and I’ve got a couple of hang-ups

of my own you see, it doesn’t mean it’s all that I want for me.

When we get together I’ve got this coat of leather

You’re wearing these wild earrings

and when it’s good I sing

   Just because, just because.

   You’re the answer to my pleas.

   You’re my favorite girlfriend, just because,

   You’re my favorite girlfriend, just because.

Just because you go to movies

with guys you meet in the parking lot,

it doesn’t mean you like them

and even if it does

you’re my favorite girlfriend, just because.

You’re my favorite girlfriend, just because.
