Lyrics
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.
