It's Not Easy by Lucky Dube

Lord have mercy

I remember the day I (1)____________ (2)________ on the telephone
I told her mama I'm (3)______________ married
I (4)__________ (5)________ her voice on the (6)__________ 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 know her?
I said mama, she is the best
But today it hurts me so to go back to
Mama and say
Mama I'm (7)______________ divorced
(Oh) I'm (8)______________ 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 (9)________ didn't work out the way
I thought it would
This choice 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 easy to understand it son
But I (11)________ you'll make it
You'll be (12)__________ again

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

I did not know that behind that beauty
Lies the true colours (14)________ will destroy me
In the near future
This choice I made didn't work out to be
What I thought it would be
(Oh) mama (15)________ choice I made
Didn't work out the way I (16)______________ 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 (17)________________ man said
Was not something that was (18)____________ you
Now I know what they (19)________ when they say
Beautiful woman
Is another man's plaything
(Oh) lord, I'm hurting now
This choice I (20)________ didn't (21)________ 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 hope you'll make it
(You'll be happy again)
