Lord have mercy

I remember the day I called mama on the telephone

Of the telephone she was smiling
And she asked me a question
That I proudly answered
She said son did you take time
To (2)________ her?
I said mama, she is the best
But today it hurts me so to go (3)________ to
Mama and say
Mama I'm getting divorced
(Oh) I'm getting divorced
The choice I made didn't (4)________ out the way
I thought it would
This (5)____________ I made
It hurts me so mama

This choice I made didn't work out the way
I thought it would
This choice of (6)________ (oh)

But I hope you'll (7)________ it
You'll be happy again
