Lyrics 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
