[Verse 1]
She got up and put her makeup on
Made a pot of coffee extra strong
At the kitchen table sucking on a cigarette

Read the paper in a cloud of smoke
While the dirty dinner dishes soaked
Woke up the kids and coaxed them out of bed

[Chorus]
Then she burnt the toast just like the day before
The day she got divorced

[Verse 2]
Left the kids with the girl next door
Parked her car at the county court
Around and around about the child support
He'll never pay

The judge said, "We're going to have to start
Without the party of the second part"
Because the party of the second part was M-I-A

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
It didn't feel any different than it ever has
She wasn't that sorry, wasn't that sad

[Chorus]

[Verse 4
Was at work and had the whole day off
Bought a bottle, then she called her boss
Waited for him at the motel lot until he got there
First he told her that her hair looked nice
Promised he was going to leave his wife
He had two more lines but she didn't care

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
She didn't feel any different than it ever had
She wasn't that sorry, wasn't that sad

[Chorus]

[Verse 6]
Kids are yakking with their hungry mouths
Dog scratching, laying on the couch
Think she really ought to clean this house but what the hell

[Chorus]
