Carly Pearce<\/a> and Riley Green <\/a>have been teasing a steamy love song and “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay” doesn’t disappoint.<\/p>\n The lyrics to the pair’s\u00a0symphonic\u00a0ballad find two lovers at a “should we or shouldn’t we” point in the night. Another glass of wine or another slow song will tip a decision and leave Pearce struggling to get to church in the morning.<\/p>\n She’s done well with duets, having had hits with Lee Brice<\/a>, Ashley McBryde<\/a>, and Chris Stapleton<\/a> in the past.\u00a0This new song is her first radio duet to find her moving toward love however.<\/p>\n “We\u2019re getting close to losing clothes \/ I should go look at the time \/ It\u2019s getting late \/ If I don\u2019t leave I\u2019m gonna stay,”\u00a0<\/em>the two artists sing during the chorus.<\/p>\n Sonically, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay” maintains Pearce’s commitment to traditional country music. Slow strings, steel guitar and minimal percussion free this song to be a true lyrical showcase. Each singer takes a verse before coming together for each chorus.<\/p>\n How does it end? It’s not definitive, unless you’ve been in a similar situation.<\/p>\n Naturally, some will wonder if Pearce and Green are dating. They are not a couple.<\/p>\n While Green’s relationship status is officially unknown (gossipy types think he’s with someone, but it’s not another country star), Pearce has long ago confirmed her relationship with Jordan Karcher.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Trailblazers: 25 Modern Female Artists Changing Country Music<\/a><\/p>\n While she wiped her Instagram page clean to promote this new song, she had posted of her with Karcher together as recently as Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n Carly Pearce:<\/strong> Chorus:<\/strong> Riley Green<\/strong> Repeat Chorus<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019re already past the point of turning around \/ But just to say I said it out loud.<\/em><\/p>\n Repeat Chorus<\/strong><\/p>\n Country is well known for duets, and there is no shortage of collaborations between men and women, women and women, or two men.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Carly Pearce, Riley Green, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay” Lyrics:<\/h3>\n
Two more glasses in the bottle \/ One more pour and I\u2019m pretty sure I shouldn\u2019t drive \/ I got church early tomorrow \/ And I can\u2019t walk in all a mess, in this dress I\u2019m in tonight \/ By the minute bad decisions start sounding good \/ Baby I ain\u2019t saying I should.<\/em><\/p>\n
If I don\u2019t leave I\u2019m gonna stay \/ If we don\u2019t stop we\u2019re gonna start all over again \/ And if I bend I\u2019m gonna break \/ We\u2019re gonna blame it on the rain or on the wine \/ We\u2019re getting close to losing clothes \/ I should go look at the time \/ It\u2019s getting late \/ If I don\u2019t leave I\u2019m gonna stay.<\/em><\/p>\n
We\u2019re so good at striking matches \/ We\u2019re no good at ever putting out the flame \/ We keep on dancing in the ashes \/ And maybe isn\u2019t doing this the definition of insane \/ Just say what you need to say.<\/em><\/p>\nThe Best Country Duets | 55 Country Music Hits, Ranked<\/h2>\n
