She got and put her make-up on
Made a pot of coffee extra strong
At the kitchen table suckin' on a cigarette
Read the paper in a cloud of smoke
While the dirty dinner dishes soaked
Woke up the kids and coaxed 'em out of bed
Then she burnt the toast just like the day before
The day she got divorced
Left the kids with the girl next door
Parked her car at the county court
'Round and 'round about the child support he'd never pay
The judge said we're gonna have to start
Without the party of the second part
'Cause the party of the second part was M.I.A
He was gettin' drunk just like the day before
The day she got divorced
It didn't feel any different than it ever had
She wasn't that sorry - wasn't that sad
Couldn't love him any less or hate him anymore
The day she got divorced
Wasn't workin' - had the whole day off
Bought a bottle and she called her boss
Waited for him at the motel lot 'til he got there
First, he told her that her hair looked nice
Promised he was gonna leave his wife
Yeah, two more lies, but she didn't care
Cause it was just like every other day before
The day she got divorced
It didn't feel any different than it ever had
She wasn't that sorry - wasn't that sad
Couldn't love him any less or hate him anymore
The day she got divorced
Kids are yackin' with their hungry mouths
Dog's scratchin' layin' on the couch
Thinks she really oughta clean this house but what the hell
Cause it's just as dirty as the day before
Yeah, she's divorced
