Song facts

From Wikipedia:

“Just Because” is a song written by Joe Shelton, Sydney Robin and Bob Shelton and originally recorded by Nelstone’s Hawaiians ( Hubert Nelson and James D. Touchstone) in 1929 and later recorded by The Shelton Brothers in 1933. Some sources say that Sydney Robin wrote the song alone and the Sheltons added their name when they recorded it. […]

Elvis Presley recorded the song on September 10, 1954 at the Sun Studios; while it was never released on Sun, it was included on Elvis’s first album, Elvis Presley after he signed to RCA. Paul McCartney later recorded the song in a style that was similar to that of Presley’s version on his Choba B CCCP allbum. […]

Paul McCartney recorded “Just Because” in 1987 for his Choba B CCCP album. From the liner notes of this album:

That’s All Right Mama/Just Because

Paul sings Presley – and two songs from the birth of the legend when Elvis was signed to Memphis-based Sun Records. Owner/producer Sam C Phillips had insisted that if he could discover “a white man with the negro feel”, he’d become a millionaire. He felt that in 19-year-old Elvis Presley he had found such a person.

Paul’s ‘one-take sessions’ have much in common with how Phillips initially recorded Elvis live in the studio. As such, these two tracks come much closer to faithfully recreating the atmosphere synonymous with the legendary Sun Sound rather than concentrating on merely duplicating the sound and nothing else.

Lyrics

Well, well, well,
Just because you think you're so pretty,
And just because your momma thinks you're hot,
Just because you think you've got something
That nobody else has got,
Well you know you made me 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 just because you think I'll be lonesome
And just because you think that I'll be blue
Just because you think I'll be foolish
To stay at home and wait around for you
Well, I'm telling you,
Baby, I'm through with you.
Because, well, well, just because.

Well now you making me drop all my girlfriends
You laugh and call me old Santa Claus
You've caused me to lose all my women
And now, now you say we are through.
Well, I'm telling you
Baby, I'm through with you
Because, well, well just because.

Well there will come a time when you'll be lonesome
And there will come a time when you'll be blue
There will come a time when old Santa
He won't pay the bills for you
Well you said that I'm foolish
Honey, you laughed and called me old Santa Claus.
I'm telling you, yeah, I'm through with you
Because, well, just because.

Well, just because you think you're so pretty
And just because your mama thinks you're the hottest thing in town
Just because you think you've got something
That nobody else has got,
You made me spend all of my money.
You laughed and called me your old Santa Claus.
Well, I'm telling you, baby, I'm through with you
Because, well, well, just because
Because, well well, just because.
