Of the (1)__________________ she was smiling
And she asked me a question
That I proudly answered
She said son did you take time
To know her?

But today it hurts me so to go back to
Mama and say
Mama I'm (2)______________ divorced
(Oh) I'm getting divorced
The choice I made didn't work out the way

This choice I made
It (3)__________ 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

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
