It's Not Easy by Lucky Dube
Lord have mercy
I remember the day I called mama on the telephone
I told her mama I'm getting married
I could (1)________ her voice on the (2)__________ 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, she is the best
But today it hurts me so to go (3)________ to
Mama and say
Mama I'm (4)______________ divorced
(Oh) I'm getting divorced
The (5)____________ 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 didn't (6)________ out the way
I thought it would
This (7)____________ of mine (oh)
Mama said to me
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll (8)________ 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
I (9)________________ in church
When the preacher man (10)________ the scriptures
You looked so beautiful, so beautiful
And so innocent
I did not know (11)________ behind that beauty
Lies the (12)________ (13)______________ that will destroy me
In the (14)________ future
This choice I made didn't work out to be
What I thought it would be
(Oh) mama this choice I made
Didn't work out the way I (15)______________ it would
Now I'm hurting
I remember when I held you by the hand
Preacher man read the scriptures
Putting (16)__________ in your mouth
Maybe what the preacher man said
Was not something that was (17)____________ you
Now I know what they mean when they say
Beautiful woman
Is (18)______________ man's plaything
(Oh) lord, I'm (19)______________ now
This (20)____________ 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 (21)____________________ it son
But I hope you'll (22)________ it
(You'll be happy again)
