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
