Johnny Dowd
"Just Because"

Man loves a woman
like the lawn loves the rain
Woman loves man
like morphine loves pain

Polly, pretty Polly, would you please be my wife
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life

Woman loves man
she just naturally does
Man loves a woman just because

Polly, pretty Polly, would you please be my wife
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life
You got a name?

Home in the suburbs boat on the lake
Ture love is one thing you cannot fake
Blues and the bottle go hand in hand
A river of whiskey'll drown an unmarried man

Polly, pretty Polly, would you please be my wife
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life

Time is a present been given to us
Just live your life kindly and don't make a fuss

Polly, pretty Polly, would you please be my wife
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life

An ill wind is blowing means no man good
Don't be mean or evil just do what you should

Polly, pretty Polly, would you please be my wife
I'm gonna love you for the rest of my life
Polly
Polly
Polly
