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 the 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
But 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
'Cause my heart, heart to break
And no, I can't bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
Oh when I feel that I, I can't go on
Well these precious words keep me hanging on
But 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 the 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, till that day)
But it ain't easy(Love don't come easy)
No, you know 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
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...
