Mental Cruelty |
| Mental cruelty, that’s what I heard him say |
| Mental cruelty, to the judge that day |
| I sat there in silence so he could be free |
| And listened to his lying words, mental cruelty |
| Your Honor, since our marriage, my life ain’t been the same |
| I’m missin' out on all the fun and he’s the one to blame |
| There’s never any excitement now, the way there used to be |
| And sharing his way of life and doin' his laundry is mental cruelty |
| Mental cruelty, that’s what I heard her say |
| Mental cruelty, to the judge that day |
| I sat there in silence so she could be free |
| And listened to her lying words, mental cruelty |
| Divorces have been granted for many different things |
| Even when there’s not a reason and no one can be blamed |
| With only two little words, she’s on her merry way |
| Yes all a woman has to claim is mental cruelty |
| Mental cruelty, that’s what I heard her say |
| Mental cruelty, to the judge that day |
| I sat there in silence so she could be free |
| And listened to her lying words, mental cruelty |
| And listened to her lying words, mental cruelty |
