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 (x2)
It Hurts Me So Mama

Mama Said To Me


Chorus:
It's Not Easy To Understand It Son
But I Hope You'll Make It (x3)
You'll Be Happy Again


I Remember In Church
When The Preacher Read The Scriptures
You Looked 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 The Way I Thought It Would Be (x2)
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 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


Chorus:
It's Not Easy To Understand It Son
But I Hope You'll Make It (x3)
You'll Be Happy Again
