Buck Owens - Mental Cruelty lyrics

[ Cowboy Copas & Dottie West ]

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...

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 why she's on her mare anyway

Yes all the woman has to claim is mental cruelty

Mental cruelty...
