It's Not Easy (Live at The Joburg Theater, South Africa 1993)

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, 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 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 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 didn't 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! 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 Mama said to me It's not easy to understand it son But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again
