I need love, love, love, oh to ease my mind
And I need to find, find, 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
You'll 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
'Cos right now the only thing
that keeps me hangin' on
Is when I feel my strength,
Yeah, it's almost gone, I remember mama said
You can't hurry love, Lord, you 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 can I take
Before loneliness will cause my heart, heart to break
Though I can't bear to live my life alone
I've grown impatient for a lover 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'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 just give it time
no matter how long it takes
Then I'm free
Now love, love, love don't come easy
But I'll 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, till that day
But it ain't easy, you know it ain't easy,
but 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
She said just give it time
no matter how long it takes
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 just give it time
