Mental Cruelty Songtext
von Buck Owens and His Buckaroos

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
