Lyrics:

1986


Well, they told her she could really be her own woman now
Get her an apartment on the partyin' side of town
But they didn't tell her what to do when the alimony is late
Or when the baby gets sick or a loser was her blind date

Yes, she thought the men would fall at her feet when she was single again
But after work dirty diapers, she just ready to turn it in
She knows that things have got to get better than this
And she know it pretty bad when she starts missin' that marital bliss

She's got the D-D-D-D-Devorcee
Yeah, she got her walkin' papers on her third anniversary
She's got bills and a baby, but at least she's single and free
She's got the D-D-D-Devorcee

Well, her mama said you should have tried to make that marrage work
But mama didn't have to live with that drunken jerk
Now, she's got a second job as a waitress at a local dive
If she can put up with the tips and the dirt, she just might survive

She's just a D-D-D-D-Devorcee
Yeah, she got her walkin' papers on her third anniversary
She's got bills and a baby, but at least she's single and free
She's just a the D-D-D-Devorcee

Well, she lie's there at night and dreams of her prince charming
Well, he's rich and handsome and no trouble with his head
But that sun comes and reality is alarming, oh, yes, it is.
When she finds Mr. Perfect, will he want another man's kid

D-D-D-D-Devorcee
Yeah, she got her walkin' papers on her third anniversary
She's got bills and a baby, but at least she's single and free
She's jsut a the D-D-D-Devorcee
She's jsut a the D-D-D-Devorcee
