Does He Love You

Kelly Clarkson · Other Songs - Kelly Clarkson

(As performed on American Idol: Las Vegas Special with Reba McEntire)

[Reba]
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

[Kelly]
But you're the one he rushes home to
You're the one he gave his name to
I'll never see his face in the early morning light
You have his mornings, his daytimes
And sometimes I have his nights

[both]
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)
All his fantasies
Does he love you (Does he love you)
Like he's been loving me

[Kelly]
But when he's with me
He says he needs me
And that he wants me
That he believes in me

[Reba]
And when I'm in his arms
Oh he swears there's no one else
Is he deceiving me
Or am I deceiving myself
(Am I deceiving myself)

[both]
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)
All his fantasies
Does he love you (Does he love you)
Like he's been loving me

[Reba]
Oh shouldn't I lose my temper

[Kelly]
Oh and shouldn't I be ashamed

[Reba]
Cause I have everything to lose

[Kelly]
And I, I have nothing to gain

[both]
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)
All his fantasies
Does he love you (Does he love you)
Like he's been loving me

[Reba]
Oh does he love you
