I need love, love
To ease my mind
I need a fine 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
Just trust in the good times
No matter how long it takes
Now how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find a love to let me live again
But that's the only thing that keeps me hangin' on
When I feel my strength, ooh, 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 loneliness
Causes my heart, heart to break
Now I can't bear to live my life alone
I've grown impatient for a love to call my own
When I feel like I, I can't go on
Well, it's precious words, keep me hangin' 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
Just trust in the good times
No matter how long it takes
Now break
Now love, love, it 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, ooh, until that day
But it ain't easy, no, 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
'Cause it's a game of give and take
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, 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, love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
