I tried very hard to keep the tears from rolling down my face I tried hard to keep remembering my rightful place I can't look sad I must act cheerful though you're running wild I'm not your woman anymore just a mother of your child I must keep up a happy part for things are really bad I must make sure our child would think the very best of dad Even though I'm feeling mean and spiteful I act meek and mild I'm not your woman anymore just a mother of your child How I wish I didn't have to keep my pain conceal
There are times I'd cheat right back though you'd know how I feel But I can't forget my image there's a little life at stake Knows that songs from mama of a heart so bowed to break There's one who counts a whole lot more than you and me combine That's why I must put every thought of leaving from my mind I must pay the counts of your affection with a grateful smile I'm not your woman anymore just a mother of your child
