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   [ steel ]   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
