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 |
|
[x2] |
|
it hurts me so mama |
|
mama said to me |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
It's not easy to understand it son |
|
But I hope you'll make it |
|
[x3] |
|
You'll be happy again |
|
I remember in church |
|
When the preacher read the scriptures |
|
You looked so beautiful and 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 the way I thought it would be |
|
[x2] |
|
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 |
|
Mama said to me |
|
[Chorus] |
