Choreographer’s note: Arm gestures during the chorus make the dance a bit more fun. These will always be done when facing 6:00.
In S1, counts 1,2: drag the thumb of your L hand across torso showing how you “dug my key” (into the side of his pretty little souped-up 4WD).
In S2, count 1&2: mime how you “carved my name” (into his leather seats).
In S3, counts 1&2: swing an imaginary bat showing how you “took a Louisville slugger”.
In S3, counts 3,4 Push palms fwd L then right as Carrie sings “to both headlights”.
In S3, counts 5&6: swing your hands in front of you as if holding knives when you “slashed a hole” (in all 4 tires).
In S4, counts 1&2: raise your arms in question “maybe next time”.
In S4, counts 3&4: tap your temple with your right index finger “he’ll think” (before he cheats).
