I need love, love
Ooh, ease my mind
And I need to find 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
But it's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
Just trust in a good 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, 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
But it's a game of give and take
How long must I wait?
How much more must 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
Well, these precious words keep me hanging on
I remember mama said you can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
But it's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes, and now break
Now 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, hold me tight
I keep waiting
Ooh, 'til that day
But it ain't easy
(Love don't come easy)
No, you know it ain't easy
And my mama said you can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
But 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
