Lucky Dube - It's Not Easy lyrics

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 (x3) 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 (x2) Now I'm hurting I remember when I held you By the hand preacher man read the scriptures Putting words in you 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 [Chorus:] (till fade) It's not easy...
