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
I could (2)________ 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 (5)________ mama, she is the best
But (6)__________ it hurts me so to go back to
Mama and say
Mama I'm getting divorced
(Oh) I'm getting divorced
The (7)____________ I made didn't work out the way
I thought it would
This choice I made
It hurts me so mama

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

Mama said to me
It's not (9)________ to (10)____________________ it son
But I hope you'll (11)________ it
You'll be happy again
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it
You'll be (12)__________ again

I remember in church
When the preacher man read the scriptures
You (13)____________ so beautiful, so beautiful
And so innocent

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

I remember when I held you by the hand
Preacher man (18)________ the scriptures
Putting words in your mouth
Maybe what the preacher man said
Was not something (19)________ was within you
Now I know (20)________ (21)________ mean when they say
Beautiful woman
Is another man's plaything
(Oh) lord, I'm (22)______________ now
This choice I made didn't work out the way
I thought it would
This (23)____________ of mine (oh)
Mama (24)________ to me
It's not easy to understand it son
But I hope you'll make it
(You'll be happy again)
