It's Not Easy by Lucky Dube

Lord have mercy

I (1)________________ the day I (2)____________ mama on the telephone
I told her (3)________ I'm (4)______________ married
I could hear her (5)__________ on the other side
Of the telephone she was smiling
And she asked me a question
That I (6)______________ 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 (7)________ 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 choice I made
It hurts me so mama

This choice I made didn't work out the way
I (8)______________ it would
This (9)____________ of mine (oh)

Mama (10)________ to me
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it
You'll be happy again
It's not (11)________ to understand it son
But I (12)________ you'll make it
You'll be happy again

I remember in church
When the preacher man read the scriptures
You looked so beautiful, so beautiful
And so innocent

I did not (13)________ (14)________ behind that beauty
Lies the true colours (15)________ will destroy me
In the near future
This choice I made didn't work out to be
What I (16)______________ it (17)__________ be
(Oh) mama this choice I made
Didn't work out the way I (18)______________ it would
Now I'm hurting

I remember when I (19)________ you by the hand
Preacher man (20)________ the scriptures
Putting words in (21)________ mouth
Maybe what the preacher man said
Was not something that was (22)____________ you
Now I know what they mean when they say
Beautiful woman
Is another man's plaything
(Oh) lord, I'm (23)______________ now
This choice I (24)________ didn't work out the way
I thought it would
This (25)____________ of mine (oh)
Mama said to me
It's not (26)________ to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it
(You'll be happy again)
