Lyric Not What I Wanted To Hear

(Tom Shapiro/Terri Clark/Chris Waters)

For two weeks I ain t heard the phone ring
Just a warning bell
My friends tell me they know things
I should know as well
I can t deny it
I ve been told
A voice inside
Says let you go

But that s not what I wanted to hear
Not what I wanted my heart to say to me
That you d be long gone
Before too long
And that s not what I wanted to see
Cause nobody wants to believe they could be so wrong
But one thing is clear
It s what I needed to know
But, oh-it s not what I wanted to hear

Sometimes my intuition
Can get carried away
But right now I d better listen
To what it has to say
Cause when I tried to
Believe you re mine
I just got silence
Every time

And that s not what I wanted to hear
Not what I wanted my heart to say to me
That you d be long gone
Before too long
And that s not what I wanted to see
Cause nobody wants to believe they could be so wrong
But one thing is clear
It s what I needed to know
But, oh-it s not what I wanted to hear

But that s not what I wanted to hear
Not what I wanted my heart to say to me
That you d be long gone
Before too long
And that s not what I wanted to see
Cause nobody wants to believe they could be so wrong
But one thing is clear
It s what I needed to know
But, oh-it s not what I wanted to hear

Oh-it s not what I wanted to hear
