Mama
Oh lord have mercy
I remember the day I called mama on the telephone
I told her mama, I'm getting married
I could hear her voice on the other side
Of the telephone she was smiling
And she asked me a question that I proudly answered
She said, son did you take time to know her
I said mama she's the best
But today it hurts me so
To go back to mama and say mama
I'm getting divorced
Oh, I'm getting divorced
This choice I made, didn't work out the way I thought it would
This choice I made
It hurts me so mama
This choice I made, didn't work out the way I thought it would
This choice of mine ohh
Mama said to me
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it
You'll be happy again
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it
You'll be happy again
I remember in church
When the preacher read the scriptures
You looked so beautiful, so beautiful and so innocent
I did not know that behind that beauty
Lies the true colors that will destroy me in the near future
This choice I made, didn't work out to be the way I thought it would be
Oh mama, this choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would be
Now I'm hurting
I remember when I held you
By the hand preacherman read the scriptures
Putting words in your mouth
Maybe what the preacherman said was not
Something that was within you
Now I know what they mean when they say
Beautiful woman is another man's plaything
Oh Lord, I'm hurting now
This choice I made, didn't work out the way I thought it would
This choice I made, oh
Mama said to me
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it
You'll be happy again
I remember the day I called mama on the telephone
I told her mama, I'm getting married
I could hear her voice on the other side
Of the telephone she was smiling
And she asked me a question that I proudly answered
She said, son did you take time to know her
I said mama she's the best
But today it hurts me so
To go back to mama and say mama
I'm getting divorced
Oh, I'm getting divorced
This choice I made, didn't work out the way I thought it would
This choice I made
It hurts me so mama
This choice I made, didn't work out the way I thought it would
This choice of mine ohh
Mama said to me
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it
You'll be happy again
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it
You'll be happy again
I remember in church
When the preacher read the scriptures
You looked so beautiful, so beautiful and so innocent
I did not know that behind that beauty
Lies the true colors that will destroy me in the near future
This choice I made, didn't work out to be the way I thought it would be
Oh mama, this choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would be
Now I'm hurting
I remember when I held you

Putting words in your mouth
Maybe what the preacherman said was not
Something that was within you

Beautiful woman is another man's plaything
Oh Lord, I'm hurting now
This choice I made, didn't work out the way I thought it would
This choice I made, oh
Mama said to me
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it
You'll be happy again
