It's Not Easy (Live)

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
