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'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

Just trust, give it time

No matter how long it takes



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 must I take

Before lonliness, 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 sayin' 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 trust, give it time

No matter how long it takes, gotta wait!



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)

No, you know it ain't easy



When mama said

You can't hurry love

No, you'll just have to wait

She said, trust give it time, no matter how long it takes

She said love don't come easy it's a game of give and take-acapo
