Just because

[Verse]

If I was poet I would burn,
every dot and cross off every word.
If I was a chemist, i'd combust,
the elements that fuel my wanderlust.
If I was a criminal I would commit,
every sin on earth just to admit.
Just because I could, I did.

[chorus]

ooh, but could I do it to you?
Just because, just because.
ooh, could I do it to you?
Just because, just because.

[verse]

If I was a child, I would pray,
convinced of a god I should obey.
If I was a loyal dog i'd stay,
conditioned by a voice that calls my name.
If I was mechanical I would salute,
The scientific proof of my excuse.
Just because I should, I do.

[chorus]

ooh, but should I do it to you?
Just because, just because.
ooh, should I do it to you?
Just because, just because.

[verse]

If I was a realist i'd quit,
brave as any heartless pessimist.
If I was a reason you'd resist,
my doubts for all you benefit.
If I was a king you'd cripple my crown,
and to your compassion i'd bow down.
Just because you would, I will.

[chorus]

ooh, but would I do it to you?
Just because, just because.
ooh, would I do it to you?
Just because, just because.

[C part]

Just because, I could do it to you,
ooh ooh-ooh ooh.
Just because, I should do it to you,
ooh ooh-ooh ooh.
Just because, I would do it to you,
ooh ooh-ooh ooh.
Just because, just because.
