"Did I Shave My Legs for This?" is a song by American country music artist Deana Carter, recorded as the title track for her debut studio album Did I Shave My Legs for This? (1995). Carter co-wrote the single with Rhonda Hart while Chris Farren produced it. It was released by Capitol Nashville on October 27, 1997, as the seventh and final single from the album.
The song peaked at number 25 on the US Hot Country Songs chart.[2]
The song is a lament from the point of view of a woman who lives in a mobile home with her husband. The couple had a romantic night planned, and the woman prepared by going to a beauty salon, buying a new dress and shoes, and shaving her legs, but when she arrives home, expecting "flowers and wine" from her husband, she is disappointed to see that he is interested only in watching television and drinking beer.
