美国乡村音乐:情系我心Before He Cheats

Right now
He's probably slow dancing
With a bleached-blond tramp
And she's probably getting frisky¹...
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 suped up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat...
I Took a Louisville slugger
To both head lights
Slashed² 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 lucky
Right now

He's probably dabbing³ 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 suped up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat...
I Took a Louisville slugger
To both head lights
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
Of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seat...
I Took a Louisville slugger
To both head lights
Slashed a hole in all 4 tires...

Maybe next time
He'll think before he cheats
Ohh.. Maybe next time
He'll think before he cheats...
Ohh... before he cheats...
Ohh...
