Right now he’s probably slow dancing with a bleached-blond tramp, and she’s probably getting frisky… 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… That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive, carved my name into his leather seats… I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights, slashed a hole in all 4 tires… Maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats. Right now, she’s probably up singing some white-trash version of Shania karaoke. 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 on 3 dollars 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 4 wheel drive, carved my name into his leather seats, I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights, slashed a hole in all 4 tires… Maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats. I might’ve saved a little trouble for the next girl, ’cause the next time that he cheats… Oh, you know it won’t be on me! No… not on me ‘Cause I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive, carved my name into his leather seats… I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights, slashed a hole in all 4 tires… Maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats. Oh, maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats… Oh, before he cheats… oh, oh. [* Polo is Ralph Lauren’s men cologne]
