SONG: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
