I need love, love, to ease my mind
I need to find, find, someone to. call mine
But mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's game of give and teke
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You gotta trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
But how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find a love to let me live again
Right now the only thing that keeps me hangin' on
When I feel my strength, yeah, is almost gone
I remember mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
How long must I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness will cause
My heart, heart to break
No I can't bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
These precious words keeps me hangin' on
I remember mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
No, love, love, don't come easy
But I keep on waiting, anticipating
For that soft voice to talk to me at night
For some tender arms to hold me tight
I keep waiting, I keep on waiting
But it ain't easy, it ain't easy
When mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
You can't hurry love
No, You just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
You can't hurry love
No, You just have to wait
