Текст песни Mama - Various Artists feat. Lucky Dube

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
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
This choice I made
It hurts me so mama
This choice i made
Didnt work out the way i thought it would
This choice of mine oh!
Mama said me
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it
You'll be happy again. 2x
I remember in church
When the preacher man read the scriptures
You looked so beautiful
So beautiful and so innocent
I did not know that behind that beauty
Lies the true colors that will destroy me in the near future
This choice I made
Didn't work out to be what i thought it be
Oh!, mama
This choice i made
Didn't work out the way i thought
It would now am hurting
I remember when I held you
By the hand preacher man read the scriptures
Putting words in your mouth
Maybe what the preacher man said
Was not something that was within you
Now I know what they mean when they say
"Beautiful woman is another man's play thing"
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
