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
And it's a game of give and take
I 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 hanging 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
And 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?
Now 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 hanging on
I remember mama said:
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
And It's a game of give and take
I 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, yeah
It ain't easy
But mama said:
You can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes
I can't hurry love
No, you just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
And it's a game of give and take
