I Chose Good

Yeah, I shoulda listened to my mama
She told me stay away from the drama
Yeah, son, be careful what you wish for
Take a bite, no more than a mouthful
And when I didn't take the warning
I'd always know in the morning
She caught me crying in the kitchen
Mama said, Son, when you gonna listen?

I've had some hits and misses
I know perfection is ambitious
This is the biggest decision I'll make

That's why I chose you
That's why I went and chose you
She didn't raise no fool
That's why I went and chose you
Thank God I got this right
'Cause the moment that I saw you that's when I knew
Guess what (What?)
Mama, I chose good

(I chose good) oh yes I did
I chose good
(I chose good) yeah!

Only say it when you mean it (mean it)
She said, I'll know when I feel it (feel it)
Someone I get stupid drunk with (oh)
3 a.m. still up talking nonsense (oh, oh, oh)
And when you're down she'll be your pick me up
And every time that you start acting up, she'll pull you back in line
And that's when you'll know it's right

I've had some hits and misses
I know perfection is ambitious
This is the biggest decision I'll make

And that's why I chose you
That's why I went and chose you (yeah, yeah)
She didn't raise no fool
That's why I went and chose you
Thank God I got this right
'Cause the moment that I saw you, that's when I knew
Guess what? (What?)
Mama, I chose good

(I chose good) Oh-woah-oh, oh-oh-oh
I chose good, yeah
(I chose good) I never lie
(I chose good) yes I did
I chose good
(I chose good)

And that's why I chose you
That's why I went and chose you
She didn't raise no fool
That's why I went and chose you
Thank God I got this right
'Cause the moment that I saw you, that's when I knew
Guess what? (What?)
Mama, I chose good
