It's Not Easy by Lucky Dube
Lord have mercy
I remember the day I called (1)________ on the telephone
I told her (2)________ I'm getting married
I could hear her voice on the other side
Of the telephone she was smiling
And she asked me a question
That I proudly answered
She (3)________ son did you (4)________ time
To know her?
I said mama, she is the best
But today it (5)__________ me so to go (6)________ 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)____________ I made
It hurts me so mama
This choice I (8)________ didn't work out the way
I thought it would
This choice of mine (oh)
Mama (9)________ to me
It's not (10)________ to understand it son
But I (11)________ you'll make it
You'll be happy again

But I hope you'll (13)________ it
You'll be happy again

When the (14)________________ man read the scriptures
You looked so beautiful, so beautiful
And so innocent
I did not know that behind that beauty
Lies the true (15)______________ (16)________ (17)________ destroy me
In the near future
This choice I made didn't work out to be
What I thought it would be
