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 said son did you take time
To (3)________ her?
I (4)________ mama, she is the best
But today it (5)__________ me so to go back to
Mama and say
Mama I'm (6)______________ divorced
(Oh) I'm (7)______________ divorced
The choice I made didn't (8)________ out the way
I thought it would
This (9)____________ I made
It hurts me so mama

This choice I (10)________ didn't (11)________ out the way
I thought it would
This choice of mine (oh)

Mama said to me
It's not easy to understand it son
But I (12)________ you'll (13)________ it
You'll be happy again
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll (14)________ it
You'll be (15)__________ again

I remember in church
When the preacher man read the scriptures
You (16)____________ so beautiful, so beautiful
And so innocent

I did not (17)________ that behind that beauty
Lies the true colours that will destroy me
In the near future
This choice I made didn't work out to be
What I (18)______________ it would be
(Oh) (19)________ (20)________ choice I made
Didn't work out the way I (21)______________ it would
Now I'm hurting

I remember when I held you by the hand
Preacher man read the scriptures
Putting words in your mouth
Maybe what the preacher man said
Was not something that was within you
Now I (22)________ what (23)________ mean when they say
Beautiful woman
Is another man's plaything
(Oh) lord, I'm hurting now
This choice I made didn't work out the way
I thought it would
This (24)____________ of (25)________ (oh)
Mama (26)________ to me
It's not easy to (27)____________________ it son
But I (28)________ you'll (29)________ it
(You'll be happy again)
