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 didn't work out   The way I thought it would   It hurts me so mama, mama said to me      It's not easy to understand it son   But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it   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 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   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 with 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      It's not easy to understand it son   But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it   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, but I hope you'll make it   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, but I hope you'll make it   But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again   ...
