Line 15:
** Blue Cantrell's "Hit 'Em Up" has the singer's character sell all his possessions in a yard sale, then take her friends out on a shopping spree with his credit cards. Perhaps not as extreme as physical violence, but it's still pretty disproportionate to ruin a guy's credit over infidelity.
** In the [[Garth Brooks]] song "Pappa Loved Momma", when long-haul trucker Pappa finds out that Momma's not only cheating on him, but has been for a while, his response is to kill her and her lover by driving ''through'' the motel room they are in with his semi-truck.
** The role reversal is actually more common, with many examples of [[Murder Ballad|Murder Ballads]]s where men kill both the woman cheating on him ''and'' the man she's cheating with.
*** Those usually aren't first person, though.
* [["Weird Al" Yankovic|Weird Al Yankovic]]'s song "I'll Sue Ya". "I'll sue ya, I'll take all your money! I'll sue ya, if you even look at me funny!"
