Bonnie Raitt - Not Cause I Wanted To lyrics

rate me

Well I'm calling you

Cause you deserve to know

You are not the reason I had to go,

Late at night in the hotel room

I think of all I've lost,

What I've put you through

And if I knew the reason

I would tell you why somehow

The feeling slipped away

I only did what I had to do

Not cause I wanted to.

I've got a guilty heart

And a troubled mind

No matter where I go

You're never far behind

I'd like to think that you'd forgiven me

But forgiveness ain't enough

To wash my conscious free

Oh if I knew the reason I would tell you

Why somehow the feeling slipped away

I only did what I had to do

Not cause I wanted to.
