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's not been the same

I'm missing 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 doing 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

Divorce has been granted

For many different things

Even when there's not a reason

And when no one can be blamed

With only two little words

She's on her merry way

Yes, all the 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 (his) lying words mental cruelty

And listened to her (his) lying words mental cruelty
