Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah
I should've listened to my mama
She told me stay away from the drama
"Yeah, son, be careful what you wish for
Take a bite, no more than a mouthful"
[Verse 2]
And when I didn't take the warning
I'd always know in the morning
She caught me crying in kitchen
Mama said, "Son, when you gonna listen?"
[PreChorus]
I've had some hits and misses
I know perfection is ambitious
This is the biggest decision I'll make
[Chorus]
That's why I chose you
That's why I went and chose you
She didn't raise no fool
That's why I went and chose you
Thank God I got this right
'Cause the moment that I
Saw you, that's when I knew
Guess what (What?)
Mama, I chose good
[Chorus]
I chose good
Oh yes I did, I chose good
I chose good
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Only say it when you mean it (Mean it)
She said I'll know when I feel it (Feel it)
Someone I get stupid drunk with
3AM, still up, talking nonsense
[Verse 4]
And when you're down, she'll be your pick-me-up
And every time that you start acting up
She'll pull you back in line
And that's when you'll know it's right
[PreChorus]
I've had some hits and misses
I know perfection is ambitious
This is the biggest decision I'll make
[Chorus]
And that's why I chose you
That's why I went and chose you
Yeah, yeah
She didn't raise no fool
That's why I went and chose you
Thank God I got this right
'Cause the moment that I
Saw you, that's when I knew
Guess what? (What?)
Mama, I chose good
[Chorus]
I chose good
Oh whoa oh ah, I chose good, yeah
I chose good
I know that I
I chose good
Yes, I did, I chose good
I chose good
[Outro]
And that's why I chose you
That's why I went and chose you
She didn't raise no fool
That's why I went and chose you
Thank God I got this right
'Cause the moment that I
Saw you, that's when I knew
Guess what (What?)
Mama, I chose good
