Mama why does he treat me so cold
Why do i feel so old
How long has he treated me unkind
Or have i always been so blind

I'm the widow of a living man

Why can't the times stay the same
Now i am begging him to change
What about all the plans we made
Now i am so afraid

I'm the widow of a living man

Why does he hurt me so
I'm gonna need someplace to go
He's no longer some kind woman's son
Mama i think that i had better run

I'm the widow of a living man
