Lucky Dube It's Not Easy song lyrics

Uuuhhh! yeaahh haahh ahh!, yeahh ah ah ah hah ah ah ah oh ah hahh oh hahh oh hahhhh!

Lord of mercy!

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. It hurts me so mama,

This choice i made, didnt work out the way i thought it would, this choice of mine oh!

Mama said me.

It's not easy to understand it son

But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again. 2x

I remember 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 colors that will destroy me in the near future

This choice I made didn't work out to be what i thought it be

Oh!, mama

This choice i made didnt work out the way i thought it would now am 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 within you.

Now I know what they mean when they say

"Beautiful woman is another man's play thing"

Oh! Lord! I'm hurting now

This choice I made didn't work 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.
