It's Not Easy Lyrics

Artist: Lucky Dube
Album: Serious Reggae

Lord have 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 is 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

The 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 oh....
Mama said to me

Chorus (x2)
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 preacherman
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 to be
What I thought it would be
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
Preacherman read the scriptures
Putting words in your mouth
Maybe what the preacherman said
Was not something that was within you
Now I know what they mean when
They say

Beautiful women
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
This choice of mine

Each time I thought about married, this song seems to tell me " be extra careful man"

by Walter E.kalamba on 7/31/2010 6:34am
Beauty doesn't mean love or you cannot get married because of that or her beauty but the thing we suppose to check it "behavour" it very very important otherwise we'll be disappointed like sung lucky.

We had lucky dube's cds when i was a kid but i first heard this song about a year ago,lucky dube captures your whole being with his voice.i think present artists should emulate him...

Listing and understand and learn,lucky dube is best to me..

by Dickson Josiah on 3/29/2023 3:13pm
To me , your songs are the best, Africa as a whole want someone like you. You were supportive, educative , intelligent and intellectually the best. Beautiful woman is a plaything to another man
