just 'cos you can don't mean you should

well my job is now obsolete

twenty five years and i'm on the street

they push a button and say i'm a fan

one last job on the factory line

just 'cos you can

don't mean you should

i took the very best and it was good

i'd give it all back if i could

just 'cos you can

just 'cos you can

don't mean you should

oh she was a face facing the crowd

neon lights

the music was loud

one mistake

my whole life changed

how could i cause so much pain

just 'cause you can

don't mean you should

i took the very best and it was good

i'd give it all back if i could

just 'cos you can

just 'cos you can

don't mean you should

and everybody's got a tale to tell

oh so we'll see through

dancing around in disregard

every word never truth

every word out of tune

dropped a penny

said it was a dime

that's when one became ten lies

oh it's so easy to kid yourself

into pretending you're someone else

just 'cause you can

don't mean you should

i took the very best and it was good

i'd give it all back if i could

just 'cos you can

oh-oh

just 'cause you can

don't mean you should

i've taken the very best and it was good

i'd give it all back if i could

just 'cos you can

just 'cos you can

just 'cos you can

baby

just 'cos you can don't mean you should

oh i wanna give it all back
