Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood in the duet “Does He Love You”

Before “The Boy Is Mine,” “Does He Love You” was the biggest diva joke about a cheater and The voice Coach Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood sound so sassy yet heartbreaking when they perform it together. The two country queens sang the duet a few years ago at the Grand Ole Opry, emphasizing the contrast between them through their ensembles. Underwood wore a pale pink dress, while McEntire opted for a sparkly black suit. But their voices harmonized perfectly. Check it out here.

The lyrics of “Does He Love You” by Reba McEntire

I have known you for some time
When he leaves me, he now wears a smile
As soon as he is away from me
He wants to be in your arms

But you are the one he rushes home to
You are the one to whom he gave his name
I never see his face in the early morning light
You have his mornings, his days
And sometimes I have his nights

But does he love you (does he love you)
As if he loves me (as if he loves me)
Is he thinking of you (is he thinking of you)
When he holds me
And he whispers (he whispers) all his fantasies
Does he love you (does he love you) as he loved me?

But when he is with me, he says he needs me
And that he wants me, that he believes in me

And when I lie in his arms, he swears there is no one else
Is he deceiving me, or am I deceiving myself?

But does he love you (does he love you)
As if he loves me (as if he loves me)
Is he thinking of you (is he thinking of you)
When he holds me
And he whispers (he whispers) all his fantasies
Does he love you (does he love you) as he loved me?

Oh, I shouldn’t lose my composure
Oh, and shouldn’t I be ashamed
Because I have everything to lose
And I, I have nothing to gain

But does he love you (does he love you)
As if he loves me (as if he loves me)
Is he thinking of you (is he thinking of you)
When he holds me
And he whispers (he whispers) all his fantasies
Does he love you (does he love you) as he loved me?

Does he Love You
