It's Not Easy Songtext
von Lucky Dube

Uuuhhh! yeaahh haahh ahh

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.
