Loretta Lynn (née Webb; born on April 14, 1932) is an American country-music singer-songwriter and author. Born in Butcher Hollow, near Paintsville, Kentucky, USA, to a coal-miner father. At the age of 14 she married, and soon she became pregnant. She moved to Washington state with her husband, Oliver Vanetta Lynn, Jr. (1926–1996), nicknamed "Doo". Their marriage was tumultuous; he had affairs, and she was headstrong; their life together helped to inspire her music. more »

Gonna have my head examin' 
'Cause my mind's in bad shape
The way that you've been actin' 
I think that you've gone ape

The way I let you treat me 
It's enough to make me sick
I'm gonna have my head examin' 
And find out what makes me tick

If I had the brains of a dummy 
I'd be smart
'Cause there ain't no feelin' 
In a poor 'ol dummy's heart

And when it comes to cheatin' 
Honey, you know every trick
I'm gonna have my head examin' 
And find out what makes me tick

Gonna have my head examin' 
'Cause I know my mind is broke
The night I saw you kiss her 
You said, "Can't you take a joke?"

Now I won't be your monkey 
You'd better change and quick
I'm gonna have my head examin' 
And find out what makes me tick

If I had the brains of a dummy 
I'd be smart
'Cause there ain't no feelin' 
In a poor 'ol dummy's heart

And when it comes to cheatin' 
Honey, you know every trick
I'm gonna have my head examin' 
And find out what makes me tick

I'm gonna have my head examin' 
And find out what makes me tick
