Before He Cheats
by Carrie Underwood
Right now
He's probably slow dancing
With a bleached-blond tramp
And she's probably getting frisky 2...
Right now
He's probably buying her some
Fruity little drink
Cause she can't shoot whiskey...
Right now
He's probably up behind her
With a pool-stick
Showing her how to shoot a combo...
And he don't know...
I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat...
I took a Louisville slugger
To both headlights
Slashed 3 a hole in all 4 tires...
And maybe next time
He'll think before he cheats
Right now
She's probably up singing some
White-trash version of Shania karoke...
Right now
She's probably saying "I'm drunk"
And he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky
Right now
He's probably dabbing 4 3 dollars
Worth of that bathroom polo...
Oh, and he don't know...
Oh, that I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat...
I took a Louisville slugger
To both headlights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
And maybe next time
He'll think before he cheats
I might saved a little trouble for the next girl
Cause the next time that he cheats...
Oh, you know it won't be on me
Ohh... not on me...
Cause I dug my key into the side
Maybe next time Ohh..
Maybe next time
He'll think before he cheats... Ohh...
before he cheats... Ohh...
