BECAUSE I LOVE YOU (I REALLY REALLY DO)
This is my tribute to the Beatles but also to Lorenz Hart, who wrote, 'It's got to be love/It couldn't be tonsillitis/It feels like neuritis/But nevertheless it's love'.
Because I love you
I can't get you out of my head
My horoscope needs to be read
I think I prefer to be dead
I hope you love me too
I really really do
Because I love you
I can't wash you out of my hair
I find myself floating on air
And who in the world is to care
Because I love you
Oh oh I do
Here I am clapped in detention
There's one thing I think I should mention
I broke the golden rule
I fell asleep in school
I can't get to sleep at night
I keep reaching for the light
I never learned in advance
The thing I learned by chance
Oooooh
I learned to love you
I can't get you out of my head
My horoscope needs to be read
I think I prefer to be dead
I hope you love me too
I really really do
Because I love you
Grammatic they give you an A
Dramatic that's you all the way
Chromatic I'll leave you to play
Because I love you
Oh oh I do
Here I am back in detention
I so have to hold my attention
I have to file a thousand words
I cut the paper in thirds
The first contains my epistle
For you to read my fate and dismissal
The second I shall put my seal
The third to tell you how I feel
Because I love you
I can't get you out of my head
My horoscope needs to be read
I think I prefer to be dead
I hope you love me too
I really really do
Because I love you
My chromosome's being a goose
My hormones are not any use
My battle zone's calling a truce
Because I love you
Oh oh I do
Because I love you
My analyst thinks it's a wheeze
I'm suddenly weak at the knees
My hormones may do as they please
Because I love you
Oh Oh I do
Because I love you
My smallpox are getting a treat
My therapy's nearly complete
I'm soon to be back on my feet
Because I love you
Oh oh I do
