I need love, love to ease my mind
I need to find, find someone to call mine
But mama said

Chorus:

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
I can't hurry love
No you'll just have to wait
You gotta just give it time
No matter how long it takes

But how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find someone 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 i remember mama said

Chorus:
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
Now why 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 hangin' on
I remember mama said

Chorus:
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
I can't hurry love
No you'll just have to wait
She said just give it time
No matter how long it takes

GOTTA WAIT!

No love, love don't come easy
But I keep on waitin'
Anticipatin' for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms
To hold me tight
I keep waitin (ooo)
Keep on waitin'
But it ain't easy yeah
It ain't easy
But mama said

Chorus:
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
I can't hurry love
No you'll just have to wait
You gotta just give it time
No matter how long it takes
