She Don’t Know Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She smiles at me all pretty
Walkin' up to me down aisle five
I wave and I smile back
And I can feel her eyes on me
She's checkin' me out in the checkout line
Cabernet in a paper bag

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, and she's the reason
He'll tell me he's workin' late
And I'll go home and cook him dinner
Pour the wine and sit up and wait, yeah

[Chorus]
What she don't know is I know what she's been up to
I bet she thinks she got me playеd for a fool
But the joke's on her, in that bеd she's lyin' in
What she don't know, she don't know
She can have him
Mm, mm, mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

[Verse 2]
And I know what's been goin' on
Behind closed doors in room 310
From the laundry I've been foldin'
I can still smell that strong cologne
He puts on to hide that Virginia Slim
That she's been smokin'
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's a cruel world awaitin'
Outside of them motel sheets
'Cause he'll find himself another Jezebel
And she'll end up just like me, yeah (Me, yeah)

[Chorus]
What she don't know is I know what she's been up to
I bet she thinks she got me played for a fool
But the joke's on her, in that bed she's lyin' in
What she don't know, she don't know
Is she can have him
Is she can have him

[Bridge]
Yeah, she can have this ring I'm slippin' off
And this house I'm tired of cleanin'
She can have it all and have a ball
With this worthless piece I'm leaving, mm

[Chorus]
What she don't know is I know what she's been up to
I bet she thinks she got me played for a fool
But the joke's on her, in that bed that she's lyin' in
What she don't know, she don't know
Is she can have him
She can have him
Ooh-ooh, she can have him
She can have him

What did Carrie Underwood say about "She Don't Know"?
Genius Answer

It’s just playing a character, and it’s fun to go there. And especially a song like ‘She Don’t Know.’ It is a cheating song, but it’s still got this cinematic quality in that you just play the movie in your head. And you can see these characters that you have in your head; you can just see the girl in her heels, pushing the little cart down the aisle.
