Widow Of A Living Man

Ben Harper · The Will To Live [1997]

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 am 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 am a widow

Of a living man, of a living man, of a living man

I'm a widow, I am 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 I had better run

I'd better run, I'd better run



I'm a widow, I am a widow

Of a living man, of a living man, of a living man

I'm a widow, I am the widow

Of a living man, of a living man, of a living man
