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 is 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
|
|
|
The 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
|
|
|
Chorus (x2)
|
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 preacherman
|
Read the scriptures
|
You looked so beautiful, so beautiful
|
And so innocent
|
I did not know that behind that beauty
|
Lies the true colours that will destroy me
|
In the near future
|
|
|
This choice I made didn' t work out to be
|
What I thought it would be
|
Oh mama this choice I made
|
Didn' t work out the way I thought it would
|
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 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
|
