Just Because you think you're so pretty
Just Because you think you're so hot
Just Because you think you got something
That nobody else has got

Well you caused me to spend all my money
You laughed and called me old Santa Claus...
Well I'm telling you honey I'm through with you
Well Because, now, now, Just Because...
