Just Because
Love's Fallout: Breaking Free from Pretty Illusions
Lyrics
Well, well, well,
Expression of surprise or emphasis, setting the tone for the following statements.
Just because you think you're so pretty,
Addressing someone who believes they are attractive.
And just because your momma thinks you're hot,
Noting the influence of the person's mother in their perceived attractiveness.
Well, just because you think you've got something
Challenging the notion that the person possesses unique qualities.
That no other girl has got,
Emphasizing the impact of the person's perceived uniqueness.
You've caused me to spend all my money.
Accusing the person of causing financial strain.
You laughed and called me old Santa Claus.
Recalling a moment of mockery where the person compared the speaker to Santa Claus.
Well, I'm telling you,
Initiating a declaration.
Baby, I'm through with you.
Declaring the end of the relationship due to the person's actions.
Because, well well, just because.
Reiteration of the reason for ending the relationship, emphasizing the phrase "just because."
Well, well, well,
Repeating the initial expression of surprise or emphasis.
There'll come a time when you'll be lonesome
Anticipating a future time of loneliness for the addressed person.
And there'll come a time when you'll be blue.
Anticipating a future time of sadness or melancholy for the addressed person.
Well, there'll come a time when old Santa
Predicting a future where the person won't receive assistance from "old Santa" anymore.
He won't pay your bills for you.
Highlighting the end of financial support from the speaker.
You've caused me to lose all my women
Accusing the person of causing the speaker to lose other romantic relationships.
And now, now you say we are through.
Confirming the end of the relationship as declared earlier.
Well, I'm telling you
Reiterating the speaker's decision to end the relationship.
Baby, I was through with you
Stating that the speaker had decided to end the relationship a long time ago.
A long long time ago.
Emphasizing the duration of the speaker's decision to end the relationship.
Well, just because you think you're so pretty
Repeating the accusation of the person's perceived attractiveness.
And just because your mama thinks you're the hottest thing in town
Reiterating the influence of the person's mother in their perceived attractiveness.
Well, just because you think you've got something
Reiterating the challenge to the person's claimed uniqueness.
That nobody else has got,
Re-emphasizing the negative consequences of the person's perceived uniqueness.
You've caused me to spend all of my money.
Reiterating the financial strain caused by the person.
Honey, you laughed and called me your old Santa Claus.
Recalling the mocking comparison to Santa Claus.
Well, I'm telling you I'm through with you
Reiterating the speaker's decision to end the relationship.
Because, well well, just because.
Final reiteration of the reason for ending the relationship.
