Just Because
The Road Cruisers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you think that I will sit and cry.
Even if my heart should tell me so.
Darling I would rather let you go.
Just because you think that you're so smart.
Going around and breaking lovers hearts.
Before I let this thing happen to me.
Darling I would rather swim the sea.
Hearts Just because I want someone who's kind With a heart as good
And pure as mine But maybe I am asking far too much Darling please
Don't ever break my heart I know you think you're smart Just going
Around breaking lovers hearts Just because I want someone who's kind
With a heart as good and pure as mine But maybe I am
Asking far too much Darling please don't ever break my heart
The Road Cruisers' song "Just Because" is a classic R&B tune from the 1950s that reflects on the pain of lost love. The song's lyrics describe a narrator who has been left by their significant other but decides not to dwell in sorrow, despite the pain in their heart. Instead, they assert their independence and choose to let go of the relationship rather than continue to suffer.
The line "Just because you left and said goodbye, Do you think that I will sit and cry" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer wants to make it clear that they refuse to be defined by the loss of their partner. The line "Before I let this thing happen to me, Darling I would rather swim the sea" shows the singer's strong desire to move on and avoid any more pain.
The song also highlights the singer's desire for a kind and pure-hearted lover, contrasting with the heartlessness of the person who left them. The line "Just going around breaking lover's hearts" shows the singer's view of their ex-partner as someone callous and selfish, who only seeks their own pleasure without considering the feelings of those around them.
Overall, "Just Because" is a song that portrays the strength of the human spirit in the face of heartbreak. Despite the agony of losing someone they love, the singer refuses to be defeated and chooses to embrace a brighter future filled with love and kindness.

The Main Line In this great movie the whole purpose making great music is what Eddie says “It’s the music that counts not the Hype ‘ “ hope that sinks in to the people who grew up watching this great movie & that Awesome Actor Michael Pare’ who played that character to the heart & the sound he gave us all to rock to...

As Eddie and the Cruisers II sax player says, " ... You can change your name but you can never change your style as a musician. ... Now I'm not sure about other aspects in life, but that statement summed it, all up.
