Mama letra

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 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

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 preacher man read the scriptures
Putting words in your mouth

Maybe what the preacher man 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
