I need love, love to ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
My mama said, "You can't hurry love"
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
You gotta trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes
And how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find the love to let me live again
Right now, the only thing that keeps me hanging on
When I feel my strength, yeah, it's almost gone
I remember mama said, "You can't hurry love"
No, you'll 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 to break
No, I can't bear to live my life alone
I'd grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
For these precious words keep me hanging on
I remember mama said, "You can't hurry love"
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
You gotta trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes
Now, wait
Now 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, hold me tight
I keep waiting
Ooh, till that day
But it ain't easy (no, it ain't easy)
No, it ain't easy
But my mama said, "You can't hurry love"
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
