During her performance last week at Nashville’s famous Ryman Auditorium, Reba McEntire was joined by Linda Davis for an epic rendition of their 1993 hit duet “Does He Love You.” Reba and Linda originally recorded this duet on June 9, 1993 and peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot Country songs chart starting November 6, 1993. “Does He Love You” tells a compelling story of love, betrayal, and heartache. The song explores the complex emotions that arise when two women discover they are both involved with the same man. Through their stunning vocal performances, McEntire and Davis vividly convey the pain, jealousy, and desperation felt by these characters, immersing listeners in the emotional roller coaster of their journey.
This duet became an instant classic and a shining example of the emotional depth and storytelling prowess that these two talented artists possess. Watch the stunning live performance and compare the Ryman Auditorium performance to the original music video below!

It’s no wonder that the tune won a Grammy Award for ‘Best Country Vocal Collaboration’ and a CMA award for ‘Vocal Event of the Year.’ The song tells the tale of a sordid love triangle and details a conversation between a wife and ‘the other woman.’
“Does He Love You” Lyrics
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 daytime
And sometimes, I have his nights
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 of his fantasies
Does he love you
(Does he love you)
Like he’s been lovin’ me?
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
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?
Shouldn’t I lose my temper
(Shouldn’t I be ashamed)
‘Cause I have everything to lose
(And I, I have nothing to gain)
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?
Oh, does he love you?
