"Did I Shave My Legs for This?" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Deana Carter. It was released in November 1997 as the fifth single and title track from the album Did I Shave My Legs for This?. The song reached #25 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. The song was written by Carter and Rhonda Hart.
The song humorously describes about a marriage that is obviously opposite of one in a traditional manner, particularly because the wife -- the female narrator -- fantasizes of a luxurious lifestyle. The wife explains that, after finishing a supposed hectic workday, she undergoes a feminine makeover (supposedly at a local spa). She returns to a deteriorating mobile home, where she and her husband reside, with high expectations that her husband will provide her a romantically intimate evening, only to find herself unenthusiastically preapring supper for him while he watches television and consumes beer and clearly not caring to display any sympathy towards his wife.
