Reba McEntire - Because Of You Lyrics






[Reba:]
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

[Reba & Kelly:]
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
[Reba:]
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
[Reba & Kelly:]
Because of you
I am afraid

[Kelly:]
I loose my way
And it's not too long (before you point it out) [Reba & Kelly]
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness (in your eyes) [Reba & Kelly]
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

[Reba & Kelly:]
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
[Reba:]
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
[Reba & Kelly:]
Because of you
I am afraid

[Reba:]
I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
(I watched you die...) [Kelly]
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
(I was too young for you to lean on me...) [Kelly]
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
(You never saw me...) [Kelly]
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

[Reba:]
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me
Because of you [Reba & Kelly]
I am afraid

[Reba:]
Because of you...
[Kelly:]
Mmmmmm... Oooooh...
[Reba:]
Because of you...
[Kelly:]
Mmmmmm... Oooooh...

    Nope, nope, nope, I miss Kelly’s vocals, what is with Reba, needs to get her pound of flesh, this version missed majorly, Reba totally missed the songs essence, good try but it’s a fail from me. .but different interpretation I can appreciate that.

  24. M.... W....

    And hiding her bruises from him!

  25. M.... W....

    I love this song because, I can really relate to it at times. I love music and this song especially. Because, its teaching you something that you can tell from the song.

  26. M.... W....

    And, from the word, "weakness" she means by he takes that as a way to hurt her feelings like he laughs at her when she cries. He doesn't care.

  27. M.... W....

    I really like this one song because, its different from the real "because of you" because, its with reba. And, she is upset because of her husband. And, the part where she is putting on makeup she is trying to wipe her tears. And, be a "cover girl" to act like everything ok. But, really it isn't. And, reba is suffering to, because, as she walked away with her husband; and reba watched them. And, she whispered, "because of you"... And, looked back at the mirror and said the same phrase again. She knew everything was not ok. This one is different. Because it talked about her dad trying to abuse her. And, trying to protect her mom. And, in this one her husband is doing the same thing. And, Reba is the mother in law of her. In real life btw. Reba was the one who cared. Not him. So, that just helps you understand everything. She is getting abused by him. And, the line where she said, "because of you, I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me. Which is a true fact: because, people are getting mean and hard to trust anymore. And, "I cannot cry because i know that's weakness in your eyes." She covers up her emotions because she doesn't want people to know what happens. So, this song I helpful to a lot of people.. Because, its true. But, you can always get through it no matter what. Stay strong!❤❤❤

  28. C.... T....

    I don't get it....why doesn't Reba help her??? :'(

  29. J.... G....

    Ladies love yourself and walk away.

    People are only discovering this version now? I heard this song before Kelly made her own version 😂 y’all are 2000 and late bro!

    S.... S....

    Would you like to explain how?
    Kelly released because of you in 2004, her and reba did this version in 2007

    S.... S....

    I am so confused.... girl, bye!! 🤣✌🏻

  51. J.... M....

    I remember seeing this video on my country station called CMT here in Canada . Reba you have such a beautiful voice. Now our CMT Station plays tv shows not country music that sucks. As I love the Show Reba they play that.
    As for the video there is so many men who beat there wives so much behind closed doors . and that should not be allowed . they should be charged and put in jail for 6 months to teach them that you don't beat the ones you love . If people think beating people of for love is just sick .Some people don't know how to leave a relationship because of this abuse from a partner. I know someone that keeps going back to the same abuser. Because she thinks that's all she can get.. He ended up in dying and when she started to date again she got a really nice guy that treated her very nice with dinners & flowers . she did not know how to act because she was so used to being treated like crap . So she treated him like crap because that's all she knew from the relationship .It's sad to see someone go through that. Now she is free from all men . she said she had it . Sometimes we are all better off being alone. People are to fast to date move in about a week and they don't know crap about them . That's the ones you watch out for.

  52. G.... D....

    This is the best version of the song. It was great when it first came out and is still awesome. I really wish that Reba would re-do other songs. I love the way she sings "If I were a boy". Awesome!!!!

  53. O.... T....

    It took 10 years for me to discover this..

  54. F.... b....

    Brought tears to my eyes. Sitting here NYE still finding my music, HA, imagine that?
    20 years later!!!! FK IT I'M FEELING GREAT - HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020

  55. N.... k....

    Y'all should watch the in studio version too... i cried when Reba looked at Kelly when they were recording this song, and Kelly just closed her eyes trying to keep it together...that look Reba gave says it all that she felt what Kelly must've have been feeling at the moment.

  56. N.... k....

    I still remember when this video 1st released that i was so mad of that guy and i wanna knock him dead for being a jerk to My Queen Kelly(even they just role playing - but the situation is real in life) so avoided playing this song for years. Now i'm here again last day of 2019...guess what i still mad as hell. I can't look at Kelly's eyes in this. So painful. It's like she wasn't acting at all, she is such a good actress she doesn't want to acknowledge it. She is so great in all of her videos and emote well on the massage of each song. How could she not be a good actress. She is.

  57. M.... O....

    Prefiero A kelly clarkson esta egoísta ni la deja cantar

  58. R.... B....

    I love reba!!!

  59. j.... ....

    Unreal matching of voices! Kelly, Reba? Please do more duets.

  60. K.... W....

    Reba has one of the MOST beautiful voices ever!

  61. W.... O....

    Queens . Legends

  62. E.... A....

    Reba I mean*

  63. E.... A....

    Read got great vocals what a video telling a story😇

  64. B.... M....

    Princess Jenavieve Bonnie Maynard loves you baby girl America tell her don't be afraid

  65. B.... M....

    Merry Christmas babies where ever you are remember to be sweet and kind and SMILE babies you are ALIVE ❤️ mom

  66. r.... ....

    wow....words cant describe how good this is

  67. E.... G....

    I never gave much thought about it even after years of watching this video but I never really realized how this song can affect each person differently. And the first 1,000 times I just thought that this was about a daughter in a abusive relationship and the mother not able to help her. But how it's more of a toxic relationship between a mother and her daughter which led the daughter to toxic relationships with men and now they are singing about the way they are both destroying each other.
    I don't know am I right? I guess I'm just slow like that lol. 🤷

    E.... G....

    Oh and I know Kelly wrote this about her dad, I've seen the original video about when her dad left, I was just speaking for the way the story went in this video.

  68. D.... W....

    I used to cry while listening to this I don't know why but I just did

    D.... W....

    Its a powerful song,ANYONE who has been in an abusive relationship KNOWS (feels) this song
    From wife and hubby to mother and daughter.......😢

  69. C.... M....

    This get to me 😔

    C.... M....

    Me too because of my Dad...😥😪

  70. Z.... E....

    The ending is so sad....

  71. T.... ....

    I want to thank my father for my strength.......thank you DAD!!!!!!

  72. R.... M....

    Love this song, because my soldier is who he is because of me. But it is more of my song, because of what my ex husband did to me. It was my soldier who got me through my bad marriage.

  73. A.... C....

    👏😍

  74. n.... v....

    No more....hurting!!!assohole..to my husband...

  75. S.... B....

    Reba she got pretty red hair like me

  76. F.... D....

    Kelly's original version of this is amazing, but adding Reba made it legendary. Two great voices that work very well together.

  77. T.... G....

    Because of you , I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me because of you .......

  78. M.... S....

    Who the hell is this old lady?

    M.... S....

    Kelly Clarkson's mother-in-law.

  79. T.... B....

    This song is supposedly about Kelly’s relationship with her parents who made her ‘afraid’ of life. Better than the original solo version by Kelly.

  80. P.... P....

    I like Reba McEntires songs

  81. C.... N....

    Crying cause she still left with him 😭😭

    C.... N....

    thats love :( but only on one end....

    C.... N....

    I'm surprised Reba didn't take a chair, turn it sideways, n shove it way up his ass.

  82. J.... J....

    I love miusic 👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🎙🌟🌟🌟👏👏👏🎆

  83. D.... A....
