Just Because
by 
Bob Margolin 
recording of 1997

Up & In (Alligator 4851) 
Just because you don't say thanks, don't mean someone didn't give 
Just because you got some money, don't mean you know how to live 
Just because you look good today, don't mean you will tomorrow 
Just because your happy now, don't mean you won't know sorrow 
Just because you're clothes are clean, don't mean your clean without 'em 
Just because you judge someone, don't mean you know about 'em 
Just because you moved your mouth, don't mean you gave an answer 
Just because you move your feet, don't mean that you're a dancer 
Just because you're good, don't mean you'll always win 
Just because you don't get caught, don't mean you didn't sin 
Just because you meant to say it, don't mean that's what you said 
Just because you look real sexy, don't mean you're good in bed 
Just because you don't do it, don't mean that others shouldn't 
Just because you can't control yourself, don't mean that I couldn't 
Just because you talk the loudest, don't mean what you say is right 
Just because you're a bully, don't mean you'll win the fight 
Just because you say "No problem", don't mean the problem ain't you 
Just because you don't go out, don't mean there's nothing to do 
Just because you put folks down, don't mean that you're so cool 
Just because you've been around, don't mean you ain't the fool 
Just because you're talkin' at me, don't mean you're talkin' to me 
Just because you're smilin' at me, don't mean that you won't screw me 
Just because you don't say sorry, don't mean that you weren't wrong 
Just because you make words rhyme, don't mean you wrote a song
