|
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 |
|
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 a 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 |
|
But mama said: |
|
You can't hurry love |
|
No, you just have to wait |
|
She said 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 |
