Not Cause I Wanted To - Bonnie Raitt

Well, I’m callin' 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’ve put you through

If I knew the reason I would tell you

Why somehow the feelin' 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

And if I knew the reason I would tell you

Why somehow the feelin' 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
