Behold: The lyrics to Reba McEntire's "Does He Love You," so you can shout it out during the 2018 ACM Awards
This Sunday, April 15th, Reba McEntire’s bringing the biggest country stars to Las Vegas as she hosts the 53rd Academy of Country Music Awards.
Country music legends-in-the-making like Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert, and Thomas Rhett each have a number of 2018 ACM Awards nominations — Stapleton has eight, Lambert has four, and Rhett has six nominations — and viewers will get to hear their favorite artists perform their latest chart-topping songs. Meanwhile, Carrie Underwood will also perform “Cry Pretty” for the first time.
But while Reba will be on stage as the 2018 ACM Awards host, it’s only one of the reasons she’ll be gracing the stage. Additionally, she’s nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year and she’s being honored as part of “ACM Flashbacks.” New this year, ACM is honoring hit songs from a particular year or the contributions to country music by artists or groups with special performances. This year, three big hits from 1993 are being honored: “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” by Blake Shelton, “Chattahoochee” by Alan Jackson, and Reba’s “Does He Love You.”
Blake Shelton and Jon Pardi will join Keith and Jackson, respectively, while Kelly Clarkson will team up with Reba again — the two toured in 2008 — for her song, which was originally sung with Linda Davis
While Reba should always be on shuffle, we’re going to need a refresher with these lyrics from azlyrics.com, ahead of the 2018 ACM Awards.
Verse 1
I've known about you for a while now / When he leaves me he wears a smile now / As soon as he's away from me / In your arms is where he wants to be / But you're the one he rushes home to / You're the one he gave his name to / I never see his face in the early morning light / You have his mornings, his daytimes / And sometimes I have his nights
Chorus
But does he love you (does he love you) / Like he loves me (like he loves me) / Does he think of you (does he think of you) / When he's holding me / And does he whisper (does he whisper) of his fantasies / Does he love you (does he love you) like he's been lovin' me
Hook
But when he's with me, he says he needs me / And that he wants me, that he believes in me / And when I'm in his arms, oh he swears there's no one else / Is he deceiving me, or am I deceiving myself?
Chorus
But does he love you (does he love you) / Like he loves me (like he loves me) / Does he think of you (does he think of you) / When he's holding me / And does he whisper (does he whisper) of his fantasies / Does he love you (does he love you) like he's been lovin' me
Bridge
Oh shouldn't I lose my temper / Oh shouldn't I be ashamed / Cause I have everything to lose / And I, I have nothing to gain
Chorus
But does he love you (does he love you) / Like he loves me (like he loves me) / Does he think of you (does he think of you) / When he's holding me / And does he whisper (does he whisper) of his fantasies / Does he love you (does he love you) like he's been lovin' me
Before we hear Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire sing it together, here are Reba and Davis singing “Does He Love You:”
Don’t miss Clarkson and Reba’s performance on Sunday!
