Bonnie Raitt — Not Cause I Wanted To lyrics

Lyrics

Well I’m calling you
'Cause you deserve to know
You were not the reason that I had to go,
Late at night in these hotel rooms
I think of all I’ve lost,
And what I 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 They’re never far behind
I’d like to think
That you’ve forgiven me But forgiveness ain’t enough
To wash my conscience clean
Oh 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 only did what I had to do Not cause I wanted to.
