Well, it was early one mornin',
I was walkin' down the street.
It was early one mornin',
I was walkin' down the street.
I saw my baby with another man,
Made my poor heart skip a beat.

Well, she was lookin' at him
The way that she looks at me.
She was lookin' at him
The way that she looks at me.
I was blinded by my tears,
I thought i'd never see.

Well, she's a mean cruel woman,
As cruel as a woman could be.
She's a mean cruel woman,
As cruel as a woman could be.
This time you've pushed me too far, baby,
You're gonna see the back of me.

Well, she's a mean cruel woman,
As cruel as a woman could be.
I said, she's a mean cruel woman,
As cruel as a woman could be.
This time i'm walkin' out the door,
You're gonna see the back of me.
One more time.

She's a mean cruel woman,
As cruel as a woman can be.
I said, she's a mean cruel woman,
As cruel as a woman could ever be.
This time i'm walkin' out the door,
You're gonna see the back of me.
Mean cruel woman.
