Because - Dave Clark Five, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

Because (Dave Clark Five, Th, 1964). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-04-01. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"

"Because" is one of the most enduring recordings by the Dave Clark Five rising to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1964 and receiving a Gold Record for sales (J. Murrells, 1978; Whitburn, 2013). Interesting that the DC5 label execs (Epic Records) did not want to release "Because" in the USA and only released it as a "B" side to "Can't You See That She's Mine" in the UK; however, Dave Clark insisted that the song be released in the US to show that the band was more than their foot-stomping predecessor releases (R. Unterberger, allmusic.com, 2022).

Lyrics:

It's right that I should care about you
And try to make you happy when you're blue
It's right, it's right to feel the way I do
Because, because I love you

It's wrong to say I don't think of you
'Cause when you say these things
You know it makes me blue

Give me one kiss and I'll be happy
Just, just to be with you
Give me, give me, a chance to be near you
Because, because I love you

Give me one kiss and I'll be happy
Just, just to be with you
Give me, give me, a chance to be near you
Because, because I love you
Because, because I love you
