Do it in my van every Sunday
She tells him she's in church but she doesn't go
Still she's on her knees and Scotty doesn't know
In this verse, we dive right into the secret affair. The narrator reveals that Scotty is clueless about Fiona's true activities.

But she's under me
And I'm not stopping

While I'm right behind you thrusting
Fiona's got him on the phone
And she's trying not to moan
It's a three-way call and he knows nothing, nothing
The bridge shifts gears a bit, showing a more intense side to the affair. The narrator can’t believe how trusting Scotty is, which makes the betrayal feel even sharper.

It's so cool when you're on top
His front lawn in the snow
Life is so hard 'cause Scotty doesn't know
This verse takes things to a more outrageous level, mentioning doing it in a parking lot and on the front lawn. It emphasizes the carefree and reckless nature of the affair. The line "life is so hard 'cause Scotty doesn't know" suggests that the narrator feels some weight from the lies, even as they enjoy the thrill.

Do it in my van every Sunday
She tells him she's in church but she doesn't go
