Before He Cheats
Reckoning of Betrayal: Retaliation in Love's Deception
Lyrics
Right now, he's probably slow dancin
He is currently dancing slowly with a bleached-blonde woman.
With a bleached-blonde tramp
The woman he is dancing with is derogatorily referred to as a tramp.
And she's probably getting frisky
The assumption is that they are engaging in intimate behavior.
Right now, he's probably buying
He is likely buying a fruity drink for the other woman.
Her some fruity little drink
Explanation that she can't handle hard liquor like whiskey.
'Cause she can't shoot whiskey
He is teaching the other woman how to use a pool stick.
Right now, he's probably up behind her
He is positioned behind the other woman with a pool stick.
With a pool-stick
Describing the act of teaching her how to make a combo shot in pool.
Showing her how to shoot a combo
He is unaware of the singer's actions.
And he don't know
That I dug my key into the side
The singer reveals damaging the side of his car with her key.
Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive
Describing his car as a souped-up four-wheel drive.
Carved my name into his leather seats
She carved her name into the leather seats of his car.
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
She damaged both headlights with a Louisville slugger.
and slashed a hole in all four tires
Slashed a hole in all four tires of his car.
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Expressing hope that he will think before cheating in the future.
Right now, she's probably up singing some
Now focusing on the other woman singing a Shania karaoke version.
White-trash version of Shania karaoke
The other woman is expressing drunkenness.
Right now, she's probably saying ""I'm drunk""
He believes he will be lucky with her.
And he's a-thinking that he's gonna get lucky
Right now, he's probably
He is using a cheap cologne in the bathroom.
Dabbing on three dollars
The singer emphasizes his lack of awareness of her actions.
Worth of that bathroom Polo
Oh, and he don't know
-That I dug my key into the side
-Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive
-Carved my name into his leather seats
-I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
-And I slashed a hole in all four tires
-Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
-I might have saved a little trouble for the next girl
The singer suggests that the next girl will face less trouble due to her actions.
'Cause the next time that he cheats
Expressing that if he cheats again, it won't be on her.
Oh, you know it won't be on me!
Reinforcing that she won't tolerate his cheating again.
Not on me
It won't be on me, no no no
-'Cause I dug my key into the side
Repeating the actions of damaging his car with her key.
Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
-I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
-I slashed a hole in all four tires
-And Maybe next time he'll think I said Maybe next time he'll think
Reiterating the hope that he will think before cheating.
Maybe next time he'll think
before he cheats
-Never knew how much I loved you, never knew how much I cared
