Lucky Dube - It's Not Easy
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 bes'"
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
Didn't work out the way I thought it would
This choice of mine
Mama said 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 hope you'll make it
You'll be happy again
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 colours
That will destroy me, in the near future
This choice I made
Didn't work out the way I thought it would
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 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
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..
