Just Because
download
(Shelton
/ Robin)
Information:
Just Because was composed by Bob Shelton, Joe Shelton and Sid
Robin in 1937 and recorded that year by Dick Stabile (Decca 716). Bunny
Berigan played trumpet on Stabile’s recording. It wasn’t until the early
1940s that the Shelton Brothers recorded their own song (Decca 5872).
Frankie Yankovic had a popular version of Just Because in 1948.
Elvis recorded Just Because at Sun Studios on September 10,
1954. It remained unreleased until his first LP, Elvis Presley,
reached the stores in March 1956. Just Because was one of the songs that
Elvis sang on the Louisiana Hayride.
Lyrics:
Well, well, well, jJust because you think you're so pretty
And just because your momma thinks you're hot
Well, just because you think you've got something
that no other girl has got
You've caused me to spend all my money, you laughed and called me old Santa Claus
Well, I'm telling you, baby, I'm through with you
Because, well well, just because
Well, well, well, there'll come a time when you'll be lonesome
And there'll come a time when you'll be blue
Well, there'll come a time when old Santa he won't pay your bills for you
You've caused me to lose all my women and now, now you say we are through
Well, I'm telling you, baby, I was through with you
A long, long, long time ago
Well, just because you think you're so pretty
And just because your mama thinks you're the
hottest thing in town
Well, just because you think you've got something
that nobody else has got
You've caused me to spend all of my money
Honey, you laughed and called me your old Santa
Claus
Well, I'm telling you I'm through with you because, well, well, just
because
