Just Because

Carolyn Dawn Johnson


I've seen it too many time before 
The minute she leaves you're at my door 
You know that I care for you 
But this time I ain't gonna be your fool 

Just because you're lonely 
Doesn't mean that you're in love 
Just because you want me now 
Baby that ain't good enough 
I know what I want 
And it's not what you're thinking of 
I ain't gonna give my heart away 
Just because 

I hope that you don't take offense 
But I'm looking for more than the present tense 
I don't want to hurt your pride 
But I think that it's time you realize 

Just because you're lonely 
Doesn't mean that you're in love 
Just because you want me now 
Baby that ain't good enough 
I know what I want 
And it's not what you're thinking of 
I ain't gonna give my heart away 
Just because 

You want validation (just because) 
You need a good conversation (just because) 
I've done it before 
Doesn't mean I'll do it again 

Just because you're lonely 
Doesn't mean that you're in love 
Just because you want me now 
Baby that ain't good enough 
I know what I want 
And it's not what you're thinking of 
I ain't gonna give my heart away 
No I ain't gonna give my heart away 
Just because
