It's Not Easy by Lucky Dube

Lord have mercy

I remember the day I called (1)________ on the telephone

And she (4)__________ me a question
That I proudly answered
She said son did you (5)________ time
To know her?
I said mama, she is the best
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 made didn't work out the way

I thought it would
This (7)____________ of mine (oh)
