凱莉·安德伍德在接受採訪時表示儘管《Before He Cheats》講的是一個女人發現她的丈夫對他不忠而歇斯底里進行瘋狂報復的故事，但是她並不贊同這種觀點。她個人認為她是那種“隨它去吧，向前看”的人。

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
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 head lights
Slashed 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 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 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'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 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
Oh maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Oh before he cheats
Oh
現在，他可能在慢舞
和一個染金髮的蕩婦
她可能很開心
現在，他可能正在
給她買點水果軟銀
因為她不會喝酒
現在，他可能在她身後
用檯球桿
叫她如何打檯球
而他不知道
我用我的鑰匙深深的劃在
他漂亮的車身上
在他真皮座椅上刻上我的名字
用Louisville的球棒打碎兩盞前燈
在4個車輪上都戳了個洞
然後也許下次他就會在劈腿之前先想想後果
現在，她可能在唱著
Shania的口水歌"Man, I feel like woman."
現在，她可能在說“我醉了”
他肯定在想今天真TM走運s
現在，他可能在噴
洗手間3塊錢的廉價古龍水
喔但是他不知道
我用我的鑰匙深深的劃在
他漂亮的車身上
在他真皮座椅上刻上我的名字
用Louisville的球棒打碎兩盞前燈
在4個車輪上都戳了個洞
然後也許下次他就會在劈腿之前先想想後果
我也許為下個女孩兒省了點小麻煩
因為他下次劈腿的時候
肯定不是在騙我咯
不，不會發生在我身上了
我用我的鑰匙深深的劃在
他漂亮的車身上
在他真皮座椅上刻上我的名字
用Louisville的球棒打碎兩盞前燈
在4個車輪上都戳了個洞
也許下次他就會在劈腿之前先想想後果
喔，也許下次他就會在劈腿之前先想想後果
喔，他劈腿之前
喔
