Just Because
F.T Lyrics

Just because, just because, just because
Just because something looks a certain way doesn't mean that's how it is - things can be more complicated than they seem

Because, because, because, because
There's always a reason for what's going on, even if it's not immediately clear

Just because
The same idea as the repeated opening line: appearances can be deceiving

I don't want to come home wit ya tonight
I don't want to do what you're asking me to do

Don't mean that I don't want to
But that doesn't mean I don't want to in general, just not right now

And just because
Here we go again with the same idea

I don't want to lay down wit ya tonight
I don't want to do that other thing you're asking me to do

It don't mean that I don't want you
But again, that doesn't mean I don't want you, just not in that way right now

I need to know
I need to have a clear understanding of what you're feeling

If you're really feelin' me
If you're truly attracted to me and interested in me

Tell me so
Be honest with me and tell me how you really feel

Cause what you feel could either turn me on
Your feelings for me could be very important and a huge turn-on for me

(Or it could just be one of those nights)
Or maybe it's just a coincidence or a fleeting feeling, and not actually that serious

Where we can just sit and talk on the phone
Sometimes we just need to talk and communicate, nothing more

(I really want to go home with you)
At the same time, I might actually really want to be with you intimately

But I gotta know just how you feel
But I need to be absolutely certain about your feelings before I proceed

And if you feel me, then it's gotta be real
If you're really into me, then our connection is genuine and significant

Baby, baby, you can lay me down
Okay, maybe now I'm ready to do what you're asking for

(Cuz I'm gettin' hot, can you hit the spot?)
I'm starting to feel more turned on and aroused, and I want you to satisfy me

I'm in the mood but won't fool around
But let's be clear, my desire for you is serious and genuine, not just a fling

(I'm not tryin' to play no games)
I don't want to waste my time or your time with any games or deceit

Cause if we move too fast
But we still have to be careful, and not rush into anything too quickly

I know this feel good won't last
If we rush things, our excitement and chemistry won't be sustainable, and we'll regret it later

And I can't have that
I'm not willing to compromise my own values and desires just to satisfy a fleeting impulse

So when you hear me sayin' no to you
If I seem hesitant or resistant, it's not because I don't want you, it's because I'm trying to be careful and thoughtful

Understand
I hope you can understand and respect my perspective and concerns

Can't lay me down tonight
Sorry, I'm still not ready for that level of intimacy right now

But when I feel the time is right
When I really feel comfortable and confident in our connection, I'll be ready

You can hit it if your hat's on tight
When the time finally comes, I'll be ready for you to satisfy me

If you want to hit it, ooh, ah, baby
If that's something you're interested in, then we can pursue it together

We can do
We can engage in some intimate and exciting activities together

All the things that you want to
Whatever you want to do, I'm open to exploring with you

It don't mean that I don't want to
Just because I've been hesitant before doesn't mean I'm not interested in exploring with you
