Lyrics:

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
Your honor, since our marriage
My life's not been the same
Why 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
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 when 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
