Matthew McConaughey Turns His Children's Book Just Because into a Song | The Tonight Show 

Having Matthew McConaughey on the first episode on Jimmy Fallon after 5 months being off air is already making my night

❤️❤️❤️ As a retired teacher I must say Matthew’s book will help so many kids feel special, valuable and good enough. God bless you Matthew. 🙏 I’m 61 and I’m getting this book for myself. Who says this is a children’s book? This is for every human being, regardless of age and will truly make our world a better place. The words lifted my spirit and watching you two sing them was even better. Great commercial for the book. Definitely got me to want one. Good job MM ❤️🎉⭐️

As a Matthew McConaughey Fan i see this as an absolute Win. Just because you don’t succeed don’t mean you haven’t won.

Please can Matthew McConaughey run for president. Pretty sure EVERYONE would be happy. Rebublic saved. GOP happy. Problem solved.

Mathew is such a beautiful human being love him what a wholesome song about his book really warm my heart im glad jimmy gave him the opportunity to Bring light to this support 👏🏽👏🏽❤.

Just because you think you’re wrong You’re still Alright Alright 😊

You were wonderful Matthew, loved the singing of your book Just Because ❤️

Glad I didn't skip this segment! This book seems like it will be a wonderful social navigation learning tool for the little ones. Definitely going to buy a copy :)

To the person reading this, even though I don't know you. I wish you the best of what life has to offer 🙏 🙌 😊❤

OMG! I love that song! I mean that book!❤ I might buy that book for myself! They should include a CD of the song as well!

Such a great performance and very catchy, funny, and has it’s a country version.

Im gonna need a full song from them. I needed to hear this today.

Welcome back Jimmy! Congratulations on the win! So happy to see you back!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Aw this was awesome ☺️ I was smiling this whole video. Jimmy and Matthew’s energy was so positive and fun. ❤

One of the best children's book I've come across that can turn into a really good song. Hats off !

Bought the book for story time with my five year old because of this clip. Now we read the book AND she loves this video too!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The very first time I saw and heard this, I instantly went to Amazon and bought a copy for 12 bucks. It's inspirational.

I’ve never been a Matthew McConaughey fan, but after his response to Uvalde he started to grow on me. I think this book may be in my top three now.

Just Because ... a great tune🎶

I love the message of that book

Amen! That is one of The Best things I've heard, for some time!

Into my Amazon basket it goes! :) Love it, well done Matthew

Just Because - Matthew ❤ Just because they threw the dart, doesn’t mean that it’s stuck Just because I’ve got skills doesn’t mean there is no luck Just because they let you down, doesn’t mean you gotta get low And just because they’re clumsy, don’t mean they got no flow Just because I’m finished doesn’t mean that I’mm done And just because you got the gold, don’t mean that you have won Just because you can pull it off, doesn’t mean that you should do it And just because you failed, that don’t mean that you blew it Just because you threw shade, doesn’t mean I’m out of the sun And just because you shut me down, doesn’t mean I have not won Just because they can choose, doesn’t mean you have a choice And just because they don’t hear you, doesn’t mean you have no voice Just because I’m dirty, doesn’t mean I can’t get clean Well, just because you’re nice, don’t mean I can’t get mean Just because I’m going in circles, doesn’t mean that I’m dizzy And just because I’m sitting still, doesn’t mean that I’m not busy Just because you and I are friends, doesn’t mean that you can’t burn me And just because I’m stubborn, well that don’t mean that you can’t turn me Now just because I forgive you, doesn’t mean that I still trust You see - there’s what you do, there’s what I do, and yours is not my must Just because it’s fiction, it don’t mean it can’t be true And just because you want one more, don’t mean that you need two Just because we disagree, doesn’t mean you’re not right And just because it’s dark, doesn’t mean that it’s night Just because the sun has set, doesn’t mean it will not rise

Welcome Back 🎉

So, no cancellation of Fallin due to that negatively recriminating work atmospheric pressure allegations against him? It's always good to witness people successfully getting over their issues and moving on. He apologized profusely and his co-workers accepted his apology. There's always a measure of humility in situation like that which can be quite beautiful. Great to see the show again.

☺️🔥🙌

JUST BECAUSE! Just because They threw the dart Doesn’t mean that it’s stuck And Just because I have got skills Don’t mean there is no luck Just because They let you down Doesn’t mean you gotta get low No, and Just because they are clumsy Doesn’t mean they got no flow Just because I am finish Doesn’t mean that I am done Just because you got the gold Don’t mean that you have won Just because you can pull it off Doesn’t mean that you should do it Just because you failed that don’t mean that you blew it Just because they threw shade Doesn’t mean I am out of the sun And just because you shut me down Doesn’t mean I have not won Just because they can choose Doesn’t mean you have a choice And just because they don’t hear you Doesn’t mean you have no voice And Just because I am dirty Doesn’t mean I can’t get clean Just because you are nice Don’t mean I can’t get mean Just because I am going in circles Doesn’t that I am dizzy Just because I am sitting still Doesn’t mean that I am not busy Just because you and I are friends Doesn’t mean that you can’t burn me Just because I am stubborn That don’t mean that you can’t turn me Just beacause I forgive you Doesn’t mean that I still trust You see, there’s what you do, there is what I do And yours is not my must Just because it’s fiction It doesn’t mean it can be true And Just because you want one more Don’t mean that you need two Just because we disagree Doesn’t mean that you are not right And Just because it is dark Doesn’t that it is night Just because the sun has set Doesn’t mean it will not rise Why is that? Why is that? Why is that? Why?why?why? Why? Because every day is a new gift Each on a new surprise.
