Widow of a Living Man Songtext
von Ben Harper

Mama, why does he treat me so cold?
So cold, so cold
Why do I feel so old?
So old, so old

How long has he treated me unkind?
Unkind, unkind
Oh, have I always been so blind?
So blind, so blind

I′m a widow, I'm a widow
I′m a widow of a living man
Of a living man, of a living man

Why can't the times stay the same?
Stay the same, stay the same
Now I am begging him to change
Please change, please change


What about all the plans we've made?
The plans we′ve made, Lord I pray
Now I am so afraid, I′m so afraid, I'm so afraid

I′m a widow, I'm a widow
I′m a widow of a living man
I'm a widow, I′m a widow
I'm a widow of a living man
Of a living man, of a living man

Mama, why does he hurt me so?
He hurts me so, he hurts me so
I'm gonna need some place to go
Some place to go, some place to go

He′s no longer some kind woman′s son
Kind woman's son, kind woman′s son
Mama, I think that I had better run
I'd better run, I′d better run


I'm a widow, I′m a widow
I'm the widow of a living man
I'm a widow, I′m a widow
I′m the widow of a living man
Of a living man, of a living man
