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
