You Can't Hurry Love (Live At the Ahmanson Theatre/1976) - Diana Ross

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

oh you'll just have to wait

she said love dont come easy

its a game of give and take

you cant 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 a love to let me live again

right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on

when I feel my strength, yeah is almost gone

I remember mama said

no you can't hurry love

you'll just have to wait

she said love don't come easy

its 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 keep me hanging on

I remember mama said

you can't hurry love

oh, you'll just have to wait

she said love don't come easy

its a game of give and take

you can't hurry love

no, you'll just have to wait

she said just give it time

no matter how long it t

you know love, love dont 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 aint easy, it aint easy

but mama said

you can't hurry love

no, you'll just have to wait

she said just give it time

no matter how long it takes

you can't hurry love

oh you'll just have to wait

she said love don't come easy

its a game of give and take
