G
Well now just because you think you're so pretty
D7
And just because you think you're so hot
Just because you think that you got something
G
That nobody else has got
Though you made me spend up all my money
G7C
You laughed and called me old Santa Clause
GE7
But I'm tellin' you honey I'm leaving you
A7D7G
Because just because
Just because you think I'm so lonesome
D7
Just because you think I'll be blue
Just because you think I'd be foolish
G
To stay around at home and wait for you
Though you made me drop all my boyfriends
G7C
You laughed and call me old Santa Cause
GE7
Well I'm telling you honey I'm through with you
A7D7G
Because just because
There'll come a day when you'll be lonesome
D7
There'll come a day when you'll be blue
When old Santa Clause won't be near you
G
To pay all the bills for you
Though you may say that I'm foolish
G7C
And think you had to drop old Santa Clause
GE7
I'm tellin' you honey I was through with you
A7D7G
Because just because
Just because I know that you'll want me
D7
Just because you'll miss all the fun
Just because I know you'll be sorry
G
For all the things you have done
Though you'll come to see me and be begging
G7C
Don't thing I'll still be old Santa Clause
GE7
Now I'm knocking wood this time I'm through for good
A7D7G
Because just because
