LISTEN TO THE LYRICS! The last time she tells him to stay, she’s telling him to stay with his wife!!!!!!!

[@sueharviel6510]

Exactly

[@Runge_was_here]

I have this exact exchange with everyone i know who hears this song for the 1st time. Have to go back to the lyrics to reassure myself 😂

[@MidwestFarmToys]

She wants t'smaaaash cuhh

[@bobvanloo8423]

The emotions come though on this song because she was cheated on by her husband, and decided to write this song from the mistresses perspective to help her deal with it. If you watch the video version you'll see real emotion and tears

[@jampatdes]

She was talking over the bridge and missed the most important lines of the song.

[@tiacalhoun3841]

The last line was “when you want to leave her (wife) bed for mine, why don’t you stay….so basically she was done with the back, forth and sharing

[@PeteJCarterIII42]

Wrong

[@PeteJCarterIII42]

Jennifer nettals is the wife and then she was going on the mistresses point of view

[@PeteJCarterIII42]

Jennifer wrote this song while her husband was cheating on her

[@wendygarner7712]

Your interpretation is WRONG. . I know she was cheated on but when she wrote this she wrote it from the perspective of the "other" woman. . Its not even open for discussion either, the song is very straightforward 😁​@user-kc2ww8jg2u

[@hackermusic3355]

@@PeteJCarterIII42 Pretty bad to tell somebody they are wrong when it's you that are wrong.

[@tntcyclespdx640]

I love your commentary....but you talked over the most important part! Verse 1 she wants the husband to leave the wife, verse 2 she realized she was being used, verse 3 she told him to stay with his wife because she was done. One of the most beautiful and thought provoking songs Ive ever heard.

[@dlshady]

Yep, too busy talking to hear the most important part.

[@pamagnolia]

Jennifer Nettles’ voice is awesome. I get chills every time I her!!

[@willow0828]

The end of the song is saying to the man to stay with his wife. She doesn’t want to live that way anymore. So the next time he thinks about leaving his wife’s bed for her she’s telling him to stay where he’s at stay in the bed with his wife. She’s no longer available.

[@bella-xp7qd]

She missed it because she was talking over the song.

[@michelleortega1514]

She was going through a divorce at this time.For the reason she's singing about except she was the wife. She also played dolly partons mom in the movie coat of many colors about dollys childhood

[@deannatreat6819]

No the song was inspired by Reba's song "Whoever's in New England." The part you got right is the part about the song being sung in the viewpoint of the mistress. Do the research darlin. I've known this since it came out.😊

[@caseyb4425]

​@@deannatreat6819You are absolutely right, because this song was written four years before it was released so it clearly wasn't about her own marriage/divorce. But practically everyone wants to believe it is her personal story.

[@michelleortega1514]

@@deannatreat6819 wrong ,darlin.

[@deannatreat6819]

@@michelleortega1514 Go look. I'd post a link to where NETTLES HERSELF said it was in the view point of the mistress and that she has NEVER lived the storyline. Yes she did play Dolly's mom in the movie Coat of Many Colors...that you also got right...

[@dbcooper69]

@@michelleortega1514 A quick and easy search will show you wrong. Especially when CMT interviewed both of them in 2007 specifically on this song!

[@cbobwhite5768]

You should watch the official video. While the were filming, she broke down crying, 3 times. The director was about to ask for a 4th take, until he looked at her and saw she was a basket case. He called it off and the edited together what they had. It will tear your heart out.

[@dogsoldiertoo1099]

Exactly, although it wasn't the director that stopped filming it was her guitarist and friend Kristian Merrill Bush. This is one song that the official video is a must watch.

[@kevinmeget6758]

Yes, when they were recording the original video.She broke down so bad.Because this is a personal song for her and her partner.Christian refused to let them record it again because it was so hard on her

[@Tessie46255]

Yep, truth. She ended up telling him to stay with his wife.

[@dbcooper69]

They never stopped per se, she wanted to finish it and she did. CMT interviewed them about the song. She explained where she got the idea of it from, and Bush talked about when they recorded the video.

[@amyaeschbach3581]

At the end she told him to stay with his wife!! Lyrics - I don’t have to live this way, so the next time you want to leave her bed for mine, baby why don’t you stay. Meaning stay away. She also did this from the mistresses point of view. while she had just been cheated on by her husband. And she won a Grammy for the song. Watch video please❤

[@davephillips7209]

That last line was when she begs you not to leave baby why don't you stay, meaning at your home.

[@curtripperger4609]

If you would listen to the song you would hear she told him to stay home

[@MidwestFarmToys]

She lied she tryin t'smaaaassh cuh

[@brianblack8631]

She was telling him why don’t you stay home with your wife because I’m done. I’m up off my knees and through.

[@sherronclavier1705]

You talked right over the words at the end. She told him to stay away! That she was over the relationship because he wasn't giving her what she needed.

[@chrisofeasttennessee780]

This is what she does. She loves to hear herself talk and sing along while the video is playing. It's definitely not the first time she's done this.

[@bella-xp7qd]

I was gonna say the same thing.

[@terribenton9885]

You need to listen to the song again. The last verse is her telling him the next time he wants to leave his wife he should stay.

[@alysialiwanag8866]

Oh she listened. And she’s 100% right. If a woman knows a man is married and still goes after him, she’s wrong from the beginning. Even if she changed her mind in the end. She’s asking why the wife gets the best of him… BECAUSE SHE IS THE WIFE. No side piece has ever been the main dish.

[@rowanmayfair9249]

Jennifer Nettles needs to be in the big leagues like Aretha, Celine, Whitney, etc. People sleep on her way too much. I want to hear her name in that list.

[@jcreateturner]

The huge reaction from the audience is that they know this is the part where she realizes she's worth more and he shud stay home.

[@sallyschaefer9042]

She is not worth more. She is an adulteress. Homewrecker. She could be sending him home with an std that he is going to infect his faithful wife with. A homewrecker is the worst scum of the earth, besides the man. She knew what she was getting into. Destroying the life and family of another woman. Destroying the kids. I wish he would have left his wife to be with the homewrecker, then he could cheat on her and give her a taste of her own medicine. I will never feel sorry for a 2 bit Annie. And that is all an adulteress is.

[@macmcgee5116]

As many have said.. you kinda missed in the last verse where she gains the courage to leave the relationship and tells the man to just STAY with his wife because she is done. I have seen a lot of reactions to this song and many of them have a similar reaction. They can't get past that it is sung from the mistresses point of view. Which is understandable. But in the second verse she talks about all of the lies she was told. While she knew he was married, he likely told her things like how his marriage was basically over and he no longer loved his wife. She believed all the lies, making her as much of a victim as the wife. She didn't see herself as a homewrecker but rather as a woman saving the man she loved from a horrible marriage. It is a lot to take in, which is why she still basically begs him in verse 2 to stay with her. Once she realizes the truth we get the 3rd verse. She is "up off my knees" and standing on her own. She realizes she is better than this.

[@deannatreat6819]

Jennifer Nettles wanted to do the song in the view point of the mistress...it was inspired by the song "Whoever's In New England." Nettles has also said she has never lived the storyline.

[@mustangsallie]

You were talking and didn’t get the last part of the song, she was telling him that when he’s in his wife’s bed to stay. You might want to listen to it again.

[@jerrywilliamson4045]

Pay attention to the lyrics.😊

[@codemissing]

Think you missed the end line. She's telling him that when he wants to come back to her bed, stay there with his wife cause he can't give her what she needs. Which she should have already known...

[@pamalaalford1081]

You talked through the ending of the story ... she did tell him to leave, just in words that fit the song! God bless you.

[@macmcgee5116]

I know you prefer live versions like this. But you really should see the video. It will most definitely make you cry.

[@bwhite963]

you were not paying attention and completely missed the meaning of the last lines. So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine Why don't you stay? I'm up off my knees I'm so tired of being lonely You can't give me what I need When she begs you not to go There is one thing you should know I don't have to live this way Baby, why don't you stay, yeah?

[@malalaz66]

At the end, when she says, why don’t you stay, she means don’t come to me stay with your wife.

[@farmerbill6855]

"Who Says You Can't Go Home?" A duet with John Bon Jovi. It's awesome.

[@jamiemiller6156]

This song was inspired by Reba McEntire's "Whoever's in New England", which was written from the perspective of the wife. This song looks at the other point of view. Jennifer Nettles never lived the storyline of this song.

[@deannatreat6819]

Yes!

[@terrimoseley8650]

This is the second or third time I've seen you talk over the singer's words in a verse and miss the whole point. Re-listen to the last verse. By the way... she plays Dollie's mama in a bio movie. I love her voice.

[@bella-xp7qd]

She does it all the time.

[@josecastellanos5187]

I knew Jennifer before she was with Sugarland. I ran sound for her and her band in a local club. She was awesome back then! And she still is!! One of the bands I play with do some her songs. As always, enjoy your reactions!

[@rayjennings3637]

The studio version outclasses this by a mile and there's no stupid audience cheering and whooping!

[@bobbyspencer1577]

One of the best songs written in country music, brought to life by a undervalued voice in country music IMO, 25 years from now this will still be a hit!

[@jealousjelly1]

Jennifer Nettles is terrific. She got a Grammy for writing this song and another Grammy for performing it. To hear her do something entirely different, listen to the official video of Sugarland's song Down in Mississippi (And Up To No Good). It's a rousing, fun song and shows just how versatile Jennifer truly is.

[@marieneu264]

3:31 she realizes all that by the last verse when she tells him to just stay with his wife

[@jodale1972]

You missed the lyrics at the end. She was telling him to stay at home.

[@sherry640]

Jennifer Nettles has one of the most amazing & biggest voices in country music. She can definitely sang!

[@tristaperkins7112]

You were talking and didn't hear the last verse well. She said next time you want to leave your wife's bed for mine, why don't you stay... You can't give me what I need.

[@malalaz66]

This is a format for country music. The lyrics mean one thing through the song, then on the last chorus they flip the script. The kicker about this song is that Jennifer Nettles the woman who sings it, was the wife, not the mistress. They wrote the song, and she sang this song from the point of you of the mistress, when in real life, she was actually the wife in the scenario.

[@user-th4dq9tw2f]

I have a dear friend who was the other woman at least twice that I know of. Watching her go through it was heartbreaking. I can't say I understand why she let herself get in that situation, but she knew very well that neither man would leave his wife for her. She grew out of that phase of her life. I love the progression in this song where the woman is begging him to stay with her, to telling him she won't live that way anymore and he should stay with his wife/girlfriend. Anyone can make a mistake, but it takes a strong person to stand up for themselves and choose something better. Jennifer Nettles is an amazing vocalist. ❤ One of my favorites she does is called Stuck Like Glue.

[@harmonys2102]

It took guts, and she deserves credit, to sing from the other side of an affair after being cheated on by her husband, showing how it just hurts everyone. No one wins.

[@KristineT4525]

She was going through a divorce at the time. She wrote the song from the mistress point of view because she was the wife.

[@deannatreat6819]

she was not going through a divorce at the time. The song was NOT about anything dealing with her personal life. JENNIFER NETTLES has said SHE HAS NEVER GONE THROUGH WHAT THE STORY LINE IS! I really wish that people would actually look up the story instead of spreading lies!

[@KristineT4525]

My bad! Thanks for pointing it out so I don’t make the mistake again. 😀

A real fun video of her's is the official video of "Stuck Like Glue". Just a little playful stalking of her crush.

[@triman95]

I've read the other comments, but I feel I have to say it as well. Listen to the words. In the last verse, she is saying (paraphrased) "when you're with your wife and you want to come see me... Why don' t you just stay with her. I'm tired of this and I'm better than this."

[@JimJack-ng9yi]

Jennifer Nettles has one of the best power house voices in country music, u need to go down her rabbit hole, starting with her rendition of" O holy Night"" live on siriusXM.

[@BEW419]

I know as a reactor you need to comment, but it's a shame when a song is really powerful that you prejudge it and interrupt so much that you completely miss a great song.

[@chlupl]

Keep in mind, that in country, one line often changes meaning throughout the song. At first she was saying "why don't you stay (with me)" and at the end.. "next time you think of leaving her need for mine.. why don't you (just) stay (where in her bed). I highly recommend watching the studio version even if you don't react to it. The emotion she puts into this song is absolutely genuine. I'm with you on the feelings about cheating. The song, though, does certainly explore the side of a common story that isn't usually explored.

[@dlarp_6528]

You missed it. She's telling him to stay with his wife. You got too emotionally involved 😂

[@jimcampbell9388]

in this song, she is singing as the wife who knows about the mistress. It is somewhat of an autobiographical song for Miss Nettles.

[@lidlett9883]

To start with. Jennifer was going through a divorce with her husband because he had been cheating on her while Sugarland was on tour. She opted to write from the mistress point of view because in County music there's been enough done from the hurt spouse. In the song the mistress comes to realize she's being used and aquire the relationship.

[@somestupidname3266]

So glad I read the comments first. I do not think I could sit through another reaction where the hammer of the song goes right over the head of the reactor

Its not just a song to Jennifer. When she wrote it she was going through a divorce. He husband cheated on her. She wrote it from the other woman's point of view. The video is heart breaking. She cries through most of it.

[@dbcooper69]

From Jennifer herself in an interview, this song was inspired by Reba McEntire's "Whoever's in New England." It's from the wife's perspective of being cheated on. Jennifer said there's countless cheating songs from the wife's view, but none from the other side's view, so she wrote this.

[@rebeccamassey7545]
