Of the (1)__________________ she was smiling
And she asked me a question
That I proudly answered
She said son did you (2)________ time
To (3)________ her?

But today it hurts me so to go back to
Mama and say
Mama I'm getting divorced
(Oh) I'm getting divorced
The choice I (5)________ didn't work out the way

This choice I made
It hurts me so mama

This choice I (6)________ didn't work out the way
