Unlove You is a song by American country music artist Jennifer Nettles. It was released in January 2016 as the first single from her second solo studio album, Playing with Fire. Nettles co-wrote the song with Brandy Clark.

  

LYRICS

I could break down and cry
Laugh it off and deny
Draw lines in the sand
And count on both hands
All the reasons why

This just won't work
It'll be nothing but hurt
I can swear that I don't
And maybe one day I won't
But for how hard I've tried

I can't unlove you
My heart can't unbreak
I can't unfeel how it felt
But feel so much myself
My whole body ached
And I can't unknow this
Lord, I wish I knew how
But I can't unlove you
So come love me for now

If I were 25
I know just what I'd do
I would have already kissed
Till I was drunk on your lips
A thousand times too few

But we have other lives
And we know it ain't right
This is going nowhere
If I'm with you I don't care
Take me nowhere tonight

They call it fire
But it feels just like drowning
Well the weight of my burning desire
Closing in all around me
I wasn't lost until you found me

And I can't unlove you
My heart can't unbreak
I can't unfeel how it felt
But feel so much myself
My whole body ached
And I can't unknow this
Lord, I wish I knew how
But I can't unlove you
So come love me for now

I can't unlove you
So come love me for now

LYRICS

Jenny grew up wild, like a blackfoot daisy
Out in the shack with a blue tick hound
Broke as hell, but blessed with beauty
The kind that a rich man can't turn down
She caught the eye of an oil man dancing
One summer night in a dime store dress
She had the looks, he had the mansion
And you can figure out the rest

It was all roses, dripping in diamonds
Sipping on champagne
She was all uptown, wearing that white gown
Taking his last name

She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing
Fold your hands and close your eyes
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
Yeah, they're ringing

Jenny was hosting Junior League parties
And having dinner at the country club
Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie
But Ken was always getting way too drunk
Saturday night, after a few too many
He came home ready to fight
And all his money could never save Jenny
From the devil living in his eyes

It was all bruises, covered in makeup
Dark sunglasses
And that next morning, sitting in the back pew
Praying with the baptist

She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing
Fold your hands and close your eyes
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
You just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
Yeah, they're ringing

Jenny slipped something in his Tennessee whiskey
No law man was ever gonna find
And how he died is still a mystery
But he hit a woman for the very last time

She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
Standing there in a black dress singing, singing
Fold your hands and close your eyes
Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
Yeah, they're ringing

Old Dominion - Song for Another Time

Recorded by American country music group Old Dominion. Song for Another Time was released to radio on June 20, 2016 as the third single from their debut studio album, Meat and Candy.

 

 LYRICS

Right now we both know
We're Marina del Rey,
Plane's gonna fly away
And you'll be on it

And by this time tomorrow
I'll be singing yesterday
The sunshine's gonna fade
And we can't stop it

So before we turn in, I can't make you love me

Let's be Brown-Eyed Girl, Sweet Caroline,
Free Fallin', Small Town Saturday Night.
Before you lose that Loving Feeling
Let's go Dancing on the Ceiling
Keep on living that Teenage Dream,
Paradise City where the grass is green
Pretty soon I'll be so lonesome I could cry,
But that's a song for another time

Well, just for one more day
What do you say?
Baby be my Pretty Woman
Because we know Sunday morning's coming down
And let's take a drive
You and I
Down some old country road
Talk about growing old in one of those pink houses

Yeah, we might be a Candle in the Wind
But let's pretend we're...

Brown-Eyed Girl, Sweet Caroline,
Free Fallin', Small Town Saturday Night.
Before you lose that Loving Feeling
Let's go Dancing on the Ceiling
Keep on living that Teenage Dream,
Paradise City where the grass is green
Pretty soon you'll be always on my mind,
But that's a song for another time

So before we're singing I Will Always Love You

Let's sing Brown Eyed Girl, Sweet Caroline,
Free Fallin', Small Town Saturday Night.
Before you lose that Loving Feeling
Let's go Dancing on the Ceiling
Keep on living that Teenage Dream,
Paradise City where the grass is green
Pretty soon I'll be so lonesome I could cry,
But that's a song for another time

Yeah, that's a song for another time
Brown-Eyed Girl, Sweet Caroline
Hey, that's a song for another time
Free Fallin', Small Town Saturday Night
That's a song for another time

 LYRICS

If you save yourself for marriage
You're a bore
If you don't save yourself for marriage
You're a whore-able person
If you won't have a drink
Then you're a prude
But they'll call you a drunk
As soon as you down the first one

If you can't lose the weight
Then you're just fat
But if you lose too much
Then you're on crack
You're damned if you do
And you're damned if you don't
So you might as well just do
Whatever you want
So

Make lots of noise
Kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that's something you're into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don't
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

If you don't go to church
You'll go to hell
If you're the first one
On the front row
You're self-righteous
Son of a-
Can't win for losing
You'll just disappoint 'em
Just 'cause you can't beat 'em
Don't mean you should join 'em

So make lots of noise
Kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that's something you're into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, or don't
Just follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

Say what you think
Love who you love
'Cause you just get
So many trips 'round the sun
Yeah, you only
Only live once

So make lots of noise
Kiss lots of boys
Or kiss lots of girls
If that's what you're into
When the straight and narrow
Gets a little too straight
Roll up a joint, I would
And follow your arrow
Wherever it points, yeah
Follow your arrow
Wherever it points

Let's crank the truck kick up some dust
Leave it all behind just me and you baby
Don't look back stomp on the gas
Tear off the rear view let's go crazy

Woah, oh, the open road, air to breath, the sun is shining down
Oh, waoh, its you and me in a land of the free so baby lets run
While were young in America

We could do the Vegas thing, you could buy me a ring
Make a lot of love and a little bit of money
Go dancing in the rain with the guitars playing
Down there in Memphis how about it honey
Fine white sand barefeet kiss me on the beach
So much to see come on come on

Woah, oh, the open road, air to breath, the sun is shining down
Oh, waoh, its you and me in a land of the free so baby lets run
While were young in, young in America, yeah

 LYRICS

I never was a straight-lace, straight A student
teacher's pet or child prodigy
I wasn't gonna get rich throwin' a football
It take too long to get a law degree

So I sat down with momma and daddy
tried to talk some sense into my big head
But the best advice that I ever got
was from my sister's rock star boyfriend

Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When you're living in a world that you dont understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band
Start a band, Start a band

And all those girls that were too cool to talk to,
They'll be waiting in the line out back
Might get your picture in the hometown paper
Maybe buy your momma that Cadillac

Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Cut up some jeans, come up with a name
When you're living in a world that you don't understand
Find a few good buddies, start a band

Start a band, Scrape up some money, buy a van
Learn free bird and ramblin' man
Never buy another beer again

Just get you a guitar and learn how to play
Grow out your hair, come up with a name
With a little bit of luck you'll be packing the stands
Find a few good buddies, start a band

No need to study, start a band
Call up some buddies man, start a band
