Before He Cheats
Reckless Retribution: Unveiling a Cheater's Consequence
Lyrics
Right now, he's probably slow dancing
He is currently dancing slowly.
With a bleached-blond tramp
He is dancing with a bleached-blond woman, possibly derogatorily referred to as a tramp.
And she's probably getting frisky
The woman he is dancing with is becoming flirtatious.
Right now, he's probably buying
He is buying a fruity drink for the woman.
Her some fruity little drink
The woman cannot handle whiskey.
'Cause she can't shoot whiskey
He is teaching the woman to shoot a pool combo.
Right now, he's probably up behind her
He is physically close to the woman with a pool stick.
With a pool-stick
He is showing her how to shoot a combination shot in pool.
Showing her how to shoot a combo
The narrator is resentful of his actions.
And he don't know
The narrator damaged his car as an act of revenge.
I dug my key into the side
The narrator vandalized his four-wheel drive with a key.
Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive
The narrator engraved her name on his leather seats.
Carved my name into his leather seats
The narrator used a Louisville Slugger to damage both headlights of his car.
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
The narrator punctured all four tires of his car.
I slashed a hole in all four tires
The narrator hopes he will reconsider before cheating in the future.
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
She imagines him singing a low-class version of Shania Twain's songs at a karaoke bar.
Right now, she's probably up singing some
The woman is claiming to be intoxicated, and he thinks he will have a chance with her.
White-trash version of Shania karaoke
He is using cheap cologne worth three dollars in the bathroom.
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk"
He is unaware of the narrator's actions.
And he's a-thinking that he's gonna get lucky
The narrator hints at causing trouble for the next woman he cheats with.
Right now, he's probably
The narrator insists that she won't tolerate cheating from him again.
Dabbing on three dollars
Repetition of the narrator damaging his car as revenge.
Worth of that bathroom Polo
Repetition of the narrator engraving her name on his leather seats.
Oh, and he don't know
Repetition of the narrator damaging his car lights with a Louisville Slugger.
That I dug my key into the side
Repetition of the narrator slashing all four tires of his car.
Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive
Repetition emphasizing the hope that he will think twice before cheating again.
Carved my name into his leather seats
Repetition of the narrator imagining him cheating and causing trouble for the next person involved.
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Repetition emphasizing that the narrator won't tolerate cheating.
I slashed a hole in all four tires
Repetition of the narrator damaging his car as a consequence of cheating.
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Repetition emphasizing the narrator's determination not to be cheated on again.
I might have saved a little trouble for the next girl
The narrator suggests that she has left a lesson for the next woman he cheats with.
'Cause the next time that he cheats
The narrator asserts that she won't be the victim of his cheating again.
Oh, you know it won't be on me!
The narrator reiterates that she won't be the victim of his cheating actions.
No, not on me
Repetition of the narrator damaging his car as an act of revenge.
'Cause I dug my key into the side
Repetition emphasizing that the narrator won't tolerate cheating.
Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive
Repetition of the narrator damaging his car as a consequence of cheating.
Carved my name into his leather seats
Repetition emphasizing the narrator's determination not to be cheated on again.
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights
Repetition of the narrator imagining him cheating and causing trouble for the next person involved.
I slashed a hole in all four tires
Repetition emphasizing that the narrator won't tolerate cheating.
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Repetition emphasizing the hope that he will think twice before cheating again.
Oh, maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Repetition of the narrator imagining him cheating and causing trouble for the next person involved.
Oh, before he cheats
Repetition emphasizing the hope that he will think twice before cheating again.
Oh
