Widow Of A Living Man

Ben Harper

1. 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
   or have I always been so blind so blind so blind

R: I'm the widow, I'm the widow, I'm the widow of a living man
   of a living man of a living man

2. Why can't the times stay the same
   now I am begging him to change
   what about all the plans we've made
   now I am so afraid

R: I'm the widow of a living man

3. Why does he hurt me so
   I'm gonna need somplace to go
   he's no longer some kind woman's son
   mama I think that I had better run

R: I'm the widow of a living man
