Not Cause I Wanted To Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 Well, I'm callin' you 'cause you deserve to know

2 You were not the reason that I had to go

3 Late at night in these hotel rooms

4 I think of all I've lost and what I've put you through

5 If I knew the reason I would tell you

6 Why somehow the feelin' slipped away

7 I only did what I had to do

8 Not 'cause I wanted to

9 I've got a guilty heart and a troubled mind

10 No matter where I go, they're never far behind

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

12 But forgiveness ain't enough to wash my conscience clean

13 And if I knew the reason I would tell you

14 Why somehow the feelin' slipped away

15 I only did what I had to do

16 Not 'cause I wanted to

17 I only did what I had to do

18 Not 'cause I wanted to
