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
