It's Not Easy by Lucky Dube

Lord have mercy

I remember the day I called mama on the telephone
I (1)________ her mama I'm getting married

Of the telephone she was smiling
And she asked me a question
That I (3)______________ answered
She said son did you take time
To (4)________ her?
I said mama, she is the best
But today it hurts me so to go (5)________ to
Mama and say
Mama I'm (6)______________ divorced
(Oh) I'm getting divorced
The choice I (7)________ didn't (8)________ out the way
I thought it would
This choice I made
It (9)__________ me so mama

This (10)____________ I made didn't (11)________ out the way
I (12)______________ it would
This (13)____________ of mine (oh)
