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
