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 a game of give and take"
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
You got to 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
It's almost gone
But 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"
"You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait"
You've got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
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
But 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"
"You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait"
You've got to just 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
I keep waiting, I keep on waiting
But 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"
"You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait"
You've got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
"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"
"You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait"
You've got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
