BONNIE RAITT lyrics : "Not 'Cause I Wanted To"

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 conscience clean


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.
