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
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
