Thread Name: Lyr Req: 'Why? Because He Loves Me'
Subject: Lyr Req: 'Why? Because He Loves Me'
Google informs me that the subject line appears largely in hymns and inspirational literature. That perhaps adds a touch of blasphemy to the bawdry in the song of that title that is sung in a pub by the heroine's mother in the movie version of _A Taste of Honey_ by Shelagh Delany (1961). Unfortunately, I can make out the words to only a few lines:

Why does he follow me about?
Why does he help me shell the peas?
He throws her out and takes me back.

Can anybody point me to the rest of it?
