Songs about reluctantly being in love.

Help me think of songs about being in denial about being in love, or about reluctantly being in love.

So far I have:[ul][li]“Crush” – Jennifer Paige[/li][li]“I Think I Love You” – Partridge Family[/li][li]“If I Wanted To” – Melissa Etheridge[/li][li]“I’m Not In Love” – 10cc[/ul][/li]What else? :slight_smile:

“Well I Hope That I Don’t Fall in Love with You” by Tom Waits
It’s drunk love, closing time love, but it is what it is.

“I Hate Myself For Loving You” - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

I hate myself for loving you
Cant break free from the the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you,
Thats why I hate myself for loving you*

“It Hit Me Like a Hammer” by Huey Lewis and the News.
“Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley.

“The Other Woman” by Ray Parker, Jr.
“Fooled Around and Fell in Love” by Elvin Bishop (Mickey Thomas on lead vox)
“Kiss and Say Goodbye” by the Manhattans
“What You Won’t Do For Love” by Bobby Caldwell

The first thing that popped into my head was Gary Allan’s “Lovin’ you against my will”

Hmm. Does Bif Naked’s *Moment of Weakness * count?

and then there’s:

“How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You, When You Know I’ve Been a Liar All My Life” from Royal Wedding

You Made Me Love You, performed by, among others, Al Jolsen and Cole Porter (the title of this thread caused me to start singing it…sigh)

“Stricken” by Disturbed.

“I Should’ve Never Started Loving You” - Marshall Tucker Band

“Break Your Heart” - Barenaked Ladies
The bravest thing I’ve ever done was to run away and hide
But not this time, not this time.
The weakest thing I’ve ever done was to stay right by your side.
Just like this time, and every time.

“Ex-factor” - Lauryn Hill
I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself
As painful as this thing has been
I just can’t be with no one else
See I know what we got to do
You let go and I’ll let go too
'Cause no one’s hurt me more than you
And no one ever will

The song for my SO and me is Counting Crows’ song ‘Accidentally In Love’ from Shrek.
