It's Not Easy

But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again
But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it
Putting words in your mouth

But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it
The way I thought it would
But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it

This choice I made didn't work out
To go back to mama and say mama I'm getting divorced
This choice I made didn't work out
Was not something that was with you

Mama said to me
She said, “Son did you take time to know her?”
But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again
It hurts me so mama, mama said to me
Now I know what they mean when they say
Oh Lord I'm hurting now
This choice I made didn't work out
It's not easy to understand it son

Lies the true colors that will destroy me in the near future
This choice I made didn't work out
It's not easy to understand it son
I remember in church, when the preacher read the scriptures
The way I thought it would
It's not easy to understand it son

But I hope you'll make it, but I hope you'll make it
This choice I made didn't work out
The way I thought it would be

Now I'm hurting, I remember when I held you
The way I thought it would be

And she asked me a question that I proudly answered
I did not know that behind that beauty
Beautiful woman is another man's plaything
But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again
Maybe what the preacher man said
But I hope you'll make it, you'll be happy again
The way I thought it would
By the hand preacher man read the scriptures
You looked so beautiful and innocent

On the other side of the telephone, she was smiling
I said mama she's the best but today it hurts me so
It's not easy to understand it son
Oh I'm getting divorced
