It's Not Easy Lyrics - 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 

This choice I made didn't work out 

The way I thought it would 

It hurts me so mama, mama said to me 

It's not easy to understand it son 

But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it 

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 

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 preacher man read the scriptures 

Putting words in your mouth 

Maybe what the preacher man 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 

It's not easy to understand it son 

But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it 

But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again 

It's not easy to understand it son 

But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it 

But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again 

It's not easy to understand it son 

But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it 

But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again
