*I REMEMBER THE DAY
I CALL MAMA ON THE TELEPHONE
I TOLD HER MAMA I'M GETTING MARRIED
I COULD HEAR HER VOICE
FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TELEPHONE
SHE WAS SMILLING AND SHE ASKED ME A QUESTION
THAT I PROUDLY ANSWERED
SHE SAID SON / DID YOU TAKE TIME TO MEET
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 THOUGHTI WOULD
THIS CHOICE I MADE IT HURTS ME SO MAMA
*THIS CHOICE I MADE DIDN'T WORK OUT
THE WAY I THOUGHTI WOULD
THIS CHOICE OF MIND 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
*I REMEMBER IN CHURCH
WHEN THE PREACHER MAN READ THE SCRIPTURES
YOU LOOKED SO BEAUTIFULL SO BEAUTIFULL
AND SO INNOCENT I DID NOT KNOW THAT BEHIND
THAT BEAUTY LIES THAT 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 VOICE I MADE DIDN'T WORK OUT
THE WAY I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NOW I'M HURTING
*I REMEMBER WHEN I HELP YOU BY THE HAND
PREACHER MAN READ THE SCRIPTURES
PUTTING WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH
MAYBE WHAT THE PREACHER MAN SAID
WAS NOT SOMETHING
