Mama Lyrics
Oh lord have mercy
I remember the day I called mama on the telephoneI 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 I made
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 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
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
