It's Not Easy — Lucky Dube

I remember the day I called mama on the telephone I told her mama 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 know her I said mama she's the best But today it hurts me so To go back to mama and say mama I 'm getting divorced Oh I'm getting divorced

This choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would (x2) it hurts me so mama

mama said to me

Chorus

It's not easy to understand it son But I hope you'll make it You'll be happy again

I remember in church When the preacher read the scriptures You looked so beautiful and innocent I did not know that behind that beauty Lies the true colors that will destroy me in the near future

This choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would be Now I'm hurting

I remember when I held you By the hand preacherman read the scriptures Putting words in you mouth

Maybe what the preacherman said was not something that was with you Now I know what they 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 Mama said to me

Chorus (till fade) It's not easy...
