I need love, love
To ease my mind
I need to find time
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've got to trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes, but 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 much 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
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
She said trust give it time, no matter how long it takes
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
To hold me tight
I keep waiting
I keep on waiting
But it ain't easy
It ain't easy, 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've got to trust give it time
No matter how long it takes, 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've got to trust give it time
No matter how long it takes
You can't hurry love
